Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, cornstarch, butter, and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. |
| 2 | Once boiling, continue to cook the mixture over medium heat for exactly three minutes, stirring continuously. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect consistency of your fudge. |
| 3 | After three minutes of boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts. The aroma of vanilla will fill your kitchen, adding a delightful fragrance to your fudge. |
| 4 | Beat the mixture vigorously until it thickens and becomes creamy. This should only take a minute or two. The fudge should start to hold its shape and pull away from the sides of the saucepan. |
| 5 | Pour the thickened fudge mixture into a greased 9×9 inch pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about an hour, or until completely set. |
| 6 | Once the fudge has cooled and set, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut it into small squares or rectangles. This will help ensure clean cuts and prevent the fudge from sticking to the knife. |
| 7 | Serve your homemade Three Minute Brown Sugar Fudge on a platter or in decorative candy wrappers for a delightful treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the rich, creamy texture and irresistible sweetness of this homemade fudge with friends and family. |
