- Yields:
-
36 squares
ingredients
- 3 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1⁄3 cup corn syrup
- 1⁄3 cup whole milk (not lowfat or skim)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
directions
- Butter a 9-inch square pan and set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, milk and butter and then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar.
- Insert a candy thermometer so that it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan and cook, without stirring, until temperature reaches 238F (115C) or soft-ball-stage, watching very carefully during the final minutes of cooking.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and the nuts, if using.
- With a wooden spoon and a lot of elbow grease, beat fudge until it begins to thicken, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Pour into prepared pan and let cool; score with a sharp knife into squares or bars before the fudge is fully set.
