Buttery Penuche (Brown Sugar) Fudge

Lovely taste and texture. My second attempt at fudge (the first was gritty with undissolved sugar.) and it went very well. I have a tip not included in the recipe; do NOT scrape the sides if the pot after it boils, the undissolved sugar from the sides will cause all of the sugar to crystalize.

I just made this and like one of the reviews I got a crumbly mixture. I've been making candy for a long time. I think this is something having to do with my dry climate and high altitude. There was a time when I was adding the powdered sugar that I thought the consistancy was about right, and I still had a lot of powdered sugar to add. I will make this again, because it tastes delicious. Just looks weird. Next time I will add powdered sugar until I get the thick creamy texture you get immediately when making chocolate fudge. I hope this helps someone!

I'm sorry but this fudge did not turn out as good as I'd expected it to. I had alot of problem in step 5. On adding the powdered sugar, the fudge did not turn thick and smooth. Instead, it was dry and not of the consistency of fudge at all. What I had in my mixing bowl, were tiny round balls of the mixture of butter-milk-brown sugar and salt(that had been cooked until the soft ball stage). I thought that the amount of butter was less, and added 3/4 cup(melted) more. But, when I tried mixing it with the electric mixer, it was still no use. Then, I tried mixing it with a spoon and it was somewhat better. But still, it hasn't come out upto the mark. Taste-wise it is nice. But, still I wish I knew where the mistake lies in the recipe.

This is pure heaven. We made this recipe for our holiday trays and I LOVED LOVED LOVED this fudge. DH's grandma makes a fudge that is wonderful and all us girls have been trying to duplicate it and I think I'm a winner here. We all loved it. Thank you so so much for sharing this recipe, it is a family favorite for sure.

This was so good! I halved the recipe, left out the nuts and after it reached the temp I threw it in my stand mixer with the powdered sugar and it came out perfectly! My husband says this tastes a lot like See's butterscotch squares so he's asked me to dip each piece in chocolate for him next time I make it so he can have his favorite candy whenever he wants.

So yummy!! I made it without nuts, and it was really nice and creamy. It did take a little time, but well worth the effort. You will not be able to stop eating this once you start! Makes a great gift, I will definitely be making this over and over!

DELICIOUS! I just made this Fudge and had to give it an immediate review. It's my 3rd kind tonight, one more to go. Maple Nut is next, and then I'm done with the Fudge. This Penuche is so good!!!!! Came out perfect. Not crumbly at all. I couldn't find my doggone candy thermometer, so I just winged it, and it came out fabulous. My favorite thus far! Very much recommended. Will be a favorite for my Holiday Fudge Recipe Collection.

I can't believe I never reviewed this! I made it last year, and was thinking of making it again when I realized that I never reviewed it. This was DELISCIOUS!

These were delicious and so easy to make. The flavor and consistency were almost exactly like See's Candy makes ... and they are my absolute favorite. I've tried many penuches (or brown sugar fudges) made by lots of candy companies and See's is just the best. Fantastic recipe, followed it exactly as written. Thank you NitaCook!

Mine also didn't turn out. I think it was the electric mixer stage and feel it would have been better to do it by hand. It was crumbly like a very dry cookie dough. Tasted good but neded up throwing it in the bin. Will try a different recipe next time.

Wonderful, creamy and delicious penuche fudge. Thanks for posting this great recipe. Penuche is my favorite fudge and I used to make it with a friend of mine but lost the recipe we used. I am so glad to finally find this recipe to make as a special treat. YUM!

Absolutely delicious!!! I made two batches and everyone raved about it. One easy hint: I lined an 8x8 pan with "Release" non-stick foil and it was so easy to remove the fudge from the pan and then cut into perfect bite-sized pieces.

This was really yummy and easy - if you measure and follow directions exactly (you have to do this for any candy or fudge) it will turn out great!

This recipe was WONDERFUL!! The first time I made it, it was great. The only change I made, was I used salted butter instead of unsalted, because that is what I had. I will definately be using this recipe again.
