An old-fashioned fudge recipe with the flavor of caramel and a little crunch of toasted walnuts.
Brown Sugar Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (150 ml) evaporated milk
- 2 cups (425 grams) brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup (198 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
- 3/4 cup (85 grams) toasted walnuts, chopped (optional)
Directions:
- Combine the evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter, and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring until smooth. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until a candy thermometer reaches 238°F.
- Remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Add the vanilla and combine with a hand-held mixer. Add the powdered sugar in small additions while continuing to beat with the mixer. Mix until smooth. Add the walnuts and mix until just combined.
- Spread the fudge into an ungreased 8-inch square pan. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or until firm. Slice with a sharp knife. Store fudge in an air-tight container for several days.
