Before starting to cook the Dark Chocolate Fudge I greased an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.

Then I placed a medium sized sauce pan on the stove, added a half pound of butter and turned the heat to medium.

Next I measured in some evaporated milk and brown sugar.

I occasionally stirred these ingredients together until the butter had melted.  Once the butter melted I stirred it continuously until it started to bubble.

When it started to bubble I stopped stirring and allowed it to boil for 6 minutes.

After 6 minutes I removed the fudge from the heat and poured it into a large Pyrex measuring cup.

Then I used the chocolate bar below.

I broke it up into pieces before dumping it into the measuring cup.

I stirred until the chocolate had melted into the boiled liquid.

Next I gradually added in 3 cups of icing sugar while I continued stirring.

After the second addition I switched to stirring with a wooden spoon since it was getting thick.

I stopped stirring once the icing sugar was fully integrated into the fudge.  Crush as many icing sugar lumps as you can if you have not sifted it first.

I scraped the hot fudge into a greased 8 x 8 inch baking pan and allowed it to cool and harden for a couple of hours.

Once the fudge was hard I inverted it onto a cutting board and used a sharp knife to cut it into squares.

Dark Chocolate Fudge is a smooth, creamy dessert that will melt in your mouth.  

It will be hard to eat just one piece!
