   Here's a recipe from an early 1900s pamphlet printed by Hershey Chocolate   
   Company, titled "A Cookery Expert's New Recipes"   
      
   Hot Cocoa Fudge Sauce for Ice Cream and Sundaes   
      
   1 1/2 cupfuls brown sugar   
   1 tablespoonful butter   
   1 cupful milk   
   1 teaspoonful vanilla   
   4 tablespoonfuls Hershey's cocoa   
      
   Mix cocoa to a paste with part of the milk, add the butter, sugar and rest of   
   the milk and cook until creamy and thick, remove from the fire, beat for a few   
   moments, add vanilla and serve at once.  For variety tear six marshmallows   
   into small pieces and add while beating the sauce, or a dozen chopped pecan   
   meats may be used as preferred.
