Maple-Walnut Fudge

Maple-Walnut Fudge combines brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and powdered sugar cooked and beaten to a glossy fudge consistency, flavored with vanilla and maple extract. Chopped walnuts fold in for texture and nutty contrast. The fudge is chilled overnight before slicing for a sweet treat with maple aroma and creamy texture.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 5 ounces evaporated milk
  • 1 cup butter unsalted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 1. Butter an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square pan. Line with parchment paper or foil, and butter that; set aside.
  2. 2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter. Bring to a full boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly (no lower than medium-low) and boil for an additional 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. 3. Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and maple flavoring. Transfer the mixture to a standing mixer (or use a hand mixer) and beat the fudge on medium speed until thick and glossy - about 3 minutes. Fold in the walnuts and pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  4. 4. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover tightly and refrigerate overnight. Slice the fudge into 1-inch squares and serve. (Fudge can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container.)
  5. Note: You can find the maple flavoring in the baking aisle where the vanilla extracts are.
