Mom's Old-Fashion Fudge

I just called my mother and she gave me her recipe.  As I remember,
this is a rich fudge but not as airy as one with marshmallows (but 
I suppose they could just be added at the end.)

In a heavy saucepan combine:

2 heaping cups white sugar (I'm going to guess it at 2 cups + 1 T)
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
dash of salt
1 cup heavy cream

Bring the above ingredients to boil.  Cook until they reach soft ball
stage (234 to 240 F)  Remove from heat and add the following:

1 cup nut pieces
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir to combine then pour out on a buttered pan and let cool until
hardened.

Enjoy,
