Look for a "penuche" recipe or use Hershey's old fashioned fudge recipe without the cocoa and flavor it with vanilla. Some will add red and green chopped candied cherries for holiday color.
Be sure you let it cool to lukewarm if you want it to be creamy and add butter and vanilla after removing from the heat. The chocolate fudge is very grainy when beaten while hot and is delicious crumbled over ice cream.
