Instructions:
-
Begin by melting the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Make sure to use a sturdy pan to prevent burning or uneven cooking.
-
Once the butter has melted, add in the evaporated milk, water, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. These ingredients will come together to create the rich and sweet base for your fudge.
-
Stir the mixture with a whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved. This step is crucial for achieving the smooth texture of the fudge.
-
Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer, making sure to stir constantly to prevent sticking or burning. You’ll want to cook the mixture until it reaches the soft ball stage, which can be tested by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball or reaches 236°F on a candy thermometer, it’s ready.
-
Once the mixture has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and continue stirring until the fudge thickens slightly. This will help ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
-
Pour the fudge mixture into a 9×13-inch pan lined with parchment paper or greased with butter. Using a spatula, smooth out the top to create an even layer.
-
Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting into small, bite-sized pieces. This will give it time to set and firm up, making it easier to slice into perfect squares.
