Velvet Fudge
2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons Old Bardstown
nuts optional
Combine sugar, cocoa and water. Over, medium heat, bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. When it comes to a boil add butter or margarine and place candy thermometer in pan (if you are using one). Cook to 234 degrees or until a little mixture in cold water forms soft ball. Remove from heat and cool thoroughly. Add almond extract and Old Bardstown and beat approximately 5 minutes or until fudge begins to thicken and lose some of its sheen. Drop bt teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper and top with your favorite nuts if you like. Its texture is like velvet. Warning-Cook slowly after it starts to boil.
