Put sugar into a saucepan and mix it with the milk to form a thick paste.

Add butter and stir in chocolate.

Put pan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly.

Do not let the contents of the saucepan come to a boil until the sugar has dissolved and the chocolate has melted.

Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan.

Increase the heat slightly and let the mixture boil for about 5 minutes, or until it reaches the soft ball stage on the candy thermometer.

Remove fudge from the heat, beat it until it is thick, and pour it into a buttered 8 inch square pan.

Cut fudge into 1 inch squares before it has time to get cold.
