HERSHEY SPREAD RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Mix sugar mixture gradually into flour mixture. Spread 1/2 the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until partially firm, about 10 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Cover the partially baked dough with chocolate bars, breaking up as needed to fit. Drop remaining dough over the chocolate as evenly as possible.
• Bake in the hot oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool.

Steps:

• Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil.
• Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in heavy 4-quart saucepan; stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to full rolling boil.
• Boil, without stirring, until mixture reaches 234°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water, forms a soft ball which flattens when removed from water. (Bulb of candy thermometer should not rest on bottom of saucepan.)
• Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla. Do not stir. Cool at room temperature to 110°F (lukewarm). Beat with wooden spoon until fudge thickens and just begins to lose some of its gloss. Quickly spread into prepared pan; cool completely.
• Cut into squares. Store in tightly-covered container at room temperature.
