My Great Granny gave my mom some recipes a long time ago.  I can't eat this stuff, but mom and her friends sure like it.   Drop me a line and let me know if it is good.  Birds can not have chocolate.  Please don't give chocolate to any animal. -- Kelley

1  8 oz. package  cream cheese
6 c. confectioners' sugar
Dash of salt
1/2 c. cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. chopped nuts
 
Butter 9- inch square pan lightly.  Have cream cheese at room temperature.  Place cream cheese in large bowl;  work with wooden spoon until smooth and soft.  Sift confectioners' sugar, cocoa and salt.  Stir into cream cheese a little at a time.  Add vanilla and nuts.  Press mixture into pan.  Chill until firm.  Cut into squares.
 
THIS IS NOT A HOT WEATHER FOOD- IT WILL MELT.
 
Makes 24 searvings.

That is her sister on the right. I never knew her, but she must have been cool acording to mom.

Granny's recipe came from an old cookbook.  It is titled The favorite Recipes of Home Economics Teachers.  I am including it since it has become such a favorite of mine.  I can make this fudge in about 15 minutes, and it makes a big hit with the guys at work.   If you would like any further info about this book, please send Kelley a line.  I am not including it as one of my own recipes, but as a tribute to both my Grandmother who gave me her favorite cookbook and to the wonderful home ech. teachers who strive to help each of their students.---Kelley's Mom
