Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by preparing a 9x9 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later on. Set aside.
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
-
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring constantly. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, and cook until it reaches the soft-ball stage, around 236°F (113°C). This typically takes about 25-30 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Add the vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
-
If you're including nuts in your fudge, gently fold them into the mixture at this point.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until set.
-
Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into small squares or rectangles.
-
Serve the delicious Penuche Fudge on a decorative platter or store it in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy this delightful treat with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa for the perfect indulgence.
