Description
Maple fudge is a creamy, decadent maple treat that is always a winner! Made with real maple syrup, plenty of brown sugar and butter, and topped with chopped walnuts, this rich treat is a must for your holiday baking.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups real maple syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts , chopped
Directions
- Line an 8” baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, combine the maple syrup, both sugars, evaporated milk and salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, stop stirring, and cook for 7-8 minutes, until the mixture reaches a temperature of 238 °F on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and add in the butter and vanilla extract (be careful, it will bubble when you add them!)
- Using a handheld electric mixer, carefully beat the mixture for about 5 minutes, until the mixture has thickened and loses its glossy appearance. Do not overbeat! It will become dry and crumbly if you do.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and evenly spread out.
- Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts.
- Allow to cool for at least 25 minutes.
- Remove the fudge from the pan using the foil and cut into 12 squares.
