Boil sugar and milk:

5 Bring the sugar, salt, butter, and evaporated milk to a boil in a medium saucepan
over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat and simmer 7 minutes,
stirring continuously.

6 Pour the hot syrup over the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.

the texture of this fudge when it is chilled after it is cut.
