Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar (preferably dark brown sugar)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it so your fudge will release easily once set.
  2. Combine Brown Sugar, Butter, and Evaporated Milk: In a medium saucepan, mix brown sugar, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat. Stir consistently until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
  3. Boil and Stir: Allow the mixture to boil without stirring for about 4-5 minutes to develop the perfect consistency, then remove from heat immediately.
  4. Add Vanilla and Powdered Sugar: Stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar swiftly using a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
  5. Pour and Set: Pour the fudge into your prepared pan, spread it evenly, and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar mixture reaches 234°F to 240°F for perfect fudge texture.
  • Continuous stirring prevents burning and creates a smooth, lump-free fudge.
  • Opt for dark brown sugar for a richer caramel flavor.
  • Allow the fudge to cool properly to avoid grainy or crumbly texture.
  • Store fudge in airtight containers to keep it soft and fresh longer.
