Whisk the mixture until dissolved and bring it to a boil.

Cook until the mixture reaches 246°F to 250°F, stirring occasionally.

Once it reaches the desired temperature, remove from heat and let it cool until you can touch the bottom of the pan without burning your hand.

Start beating the mixture until it thickens and becomes creamy.

Press the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch pan.

Let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
