Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups brown sugar packed (light or dark or a combination - see Cafe Tips above in the post)
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Flaky sea salt I love Maldon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line three mini muffin tins with 36 mini cupcake liners. (You'll get 3--36, depending on how full you fill the liners and the size of your liners. (I fill mine almost to the top and get 18.)
  2. In a medium-size, heavy-duty saucepan, combine the cream and brown sugar over medium heat.
  3. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Maintain a medium boil, stirring frequently until the mixture reaches 240˚F. This will take 8-14 minutes, depending on the heat.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Using a whisk vigorously whisk the fudge mixture for 5 minutes. It will start to thicken up slightly and get a bit lighter in color. You can also use a hand held mixer. Start on low speed and increase to high. Mix for 3 minutes, if using a mixer.
  5. Pour or spoon the fudge into the prepared baking cups. I like to use a small ice cream scoop for this to keep my cups consistent.
  6. Sprinkle each cup with a bit of flaky sea salt while hot. Allow fudge to cool completely before storing it.
  7. Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for one to two weeks, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
