Salted Caramel Fudge
Salted caramel fudge is a rich, indulgent confection that combines the smooth, creamy texture of fudge with the sweet, buttery flavor of caramel.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Line a 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper and grease well.
- Combine all ingredients, except the salt and nuts, in a heavy-based saucepan and keep stirring over a medium heat until the mixture is happily bubbling.
- It’s very important to keep the fudge moving all the time, especially around the edges, otherwise you risk burning the sugar.
- Keep stirring the fudge until it has turned a golden brown color, around 15 to 20 minutes.
- To test it, pick up a small teaspoon of fudge and drop a small amount of fudge in a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a firm ball, then it’s cooked enough.
- Remove fudge from heat, add 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt and nuts and beat with wooden spoon for around 10 minutes, until the fudge is thick and lightly grainy.
- Pour fudge into the prepared baking pan and smooth into the corners.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon salt over the fudge and press in gently with your fingers.
- Cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Cut into bite size pieces when firm.
