Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, butter, and water over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
-
Once the mixture is smooth, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the thermometer registers 235°F (soft-ball stage). This should take about 20-25 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts, if using. Be careful, as the mixture will be very hot.
-
Line a baking dish with parchment paper and pour the hot candy mixture into the dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
-
Once the candy has cooled, use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares or rectangles. If desired, dust the candies with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
-
Store the Russian Fudge Sweetened Condensed Candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy this delightful treat with a cup of tea or coffee during the holidays, or package them up as gifts for your friends and family.
