Description
Creamy old-fashioned caramel fudge with a rich, buttery flavor that melts in your mouth. Perfect for gifting, holiday treats, or everyday indulgence. Easy to make with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease.
- Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir.
- Heat on medium, stirring frequently, until butter melts and sugar dissolves.
- Attach a candy thermometer. Cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage).
- Remove from heat. Cool undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and salt. Beat with a wooden spoon until thick and slightly dull, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Cool completely at room temperature. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Tip: Use a candy thermometer for precision, or test for soft-ball stage in cold water.
For a deeper flavor, substitute dark brown sugar for light brown sugar.
Avoid graininess by ensuring all sugar dissolves before boiling.
