Hazelnut Fudge

My Grandma always made this peanut butter fudge that I would eat like it was going out of style. I snatched the recipe from her this last Christmas and decided it wasn't as hard as it tasted. I took that recipe and turned it into hazelnut fudge by using Nutella and hazelnut flavoring instead of the peanut butter and it made my chocolate loving husband happy, and me sick from eating too much....

sift together:
1 lb powdered sugar
1/3 cup powdered milk
set aside

then in a double boiler melt
1/3 cup nutella
1/4 cup butter
stir in
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp Hazelnut extract
then pour over dry ingredients and press into a 8x8 square pan and let cool, or if you are impatient like me, grab a spoon.
Grandma's recipe adds the option of either 1/2 cup nuts or 1 cup mini marshmallows. Next time I want to toast some hazelnuts and add them to it... mmm.... I think I will have another piece right now....
