Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure the fudge releases easily once set.
  2. Combine the Main Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, stirring constantly until it dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  4. Remove from Heat and Flavor: Take the saucepan off the heat, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
  5. Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Let it cool at room temperature for a bit before transferring to the fridge to fully set, typically 2-3 hours.
  6. Slice and Enjoy: Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and slice into small squares. Serve, gift, or store for later treats.

Notes

  • Use fresh brown sugar and butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Stir constantly during cooking to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • The fudge mixture should be thick but still pourable before setting.
  • Chill thoroughly in the fridge for firm, easy-to-cut squares.
  • Add extras like nuts or spices after cooking to maintain texture integrity.
