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.
