An easy, buttery fudge with chopped walnuts and maple flavor.
Ingredients
2 cups packed brown sugar
5 fluid ounces (or, half of a 10-oz can) evaporated milk
1/2 pound butter
2 cups powdered (confectioners’) sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
Directions
- Butter a 9×13-inch pan and set aside, or, for easier removal, line the pan with foil or paper andbutter that. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat very slightly and boil 10 minutes while stirring constantly. No longer! Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, vanilla and maple flavoring. Mix thoroughly with hand mixer on medium until thick and glossy – just a couple of minutes. Fold in walnuts and pour in prepared pan. Refrigerate until set. When set, cut into 1-inch squares.
Notes
- Submitted as “Perfect Maple Walnut Fudge” by Julia, who says: “This is one of the best recipes I have tasted. I found it in a school cookbook as a Maple Fudge and added a couple of things myself. It turns out every time and freezes like a dream! This recipe also doubles easily. For really succulent fudge, double and still use the one pan. It is thick and decadent, just like it should be. I cut this and freeze it in a can every Christmas without a problem. Just be sure it is really well wrapped. Enjoy!”
