Ingredients:
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 cups | Sugar |
1 cup | Light corn syrup |
2 pinches | Salt |
1 cup | Evaporated milk |
3/4 cup | Butter |
1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
Instructions:
-
Combine first five ingredients.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, light corn syrup, salt, and evaporated milk. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
-
Cook over low heat until a little dropped in cold water forms a soft ball.
Place the saucepan over low heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the soft ball stage. To test, drop a small amount of the mixture into cold water. If it forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water, it’s ready.
-
Add butter and vanilla.
Once the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, add the butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the butter is completely melted and the vanilla is evenly distributed.
-
Cool slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. This will prevent the fudge from becoming too thick too quickly.
-
Beat until thick.
Using a wooden spoon or a handheld mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy. This will give the fudge its signature smooth texture.
-
If desired, add chopped nuts.
For extra flavor and texture, you can stir in a handful of chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
-
Pour into a greased plate.
Grease a plate or baking dish with butter or cooking spray, then pour the fudge mixture into it. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly and smooth out the top.
-
Chill.
Place the plate of fudge in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, cut the fudge into squares or rectangles and serve.
