  • Using a 5×9 pan (typically same size as banana bread pan, if you want thinner pieces, use 8×8)

  • Combine sugar, honey, cocoa, buttermilk, sweet condensed milk, and food coloring in a non stick pan.  Stir to combine.

  • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, but do not scrape down the sides. (to avoid getting crystallized sugar in fudge)
