Substitutions and Additions:

• Coarse Sea Salt – You can sprinkle sea salt flakes on top of the fudge once in the pan. It looks pretty and tastes good too.

• Brown Sugar – Feel free to use dark brown sugar or light brown sugar.

Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1 – Add the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt to a large sauce pan. Use low heat and stir it all together until all the sugar has dissolved. Cook until mixture thickens.

Step 2 – Remove from the heat. Then add in the white chocolate melts and stir until the chocolate chips have melted.

Step 3 – Once all of this is combined, pour the fudge to the pan you prepared earlier. Let the mixture cool at room temperature and cover the pan.

Step 4 – Let the fudge set at least 4 hours in the fridge. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Recipe Tips:

• Quality White Chocolate – I prefer to use white chocolate melts in this recipe as it melts smoother then white chocolate chips. If you do not have white chocolate melts in your area. Use a high quality white chocolate diced into smaller pieces instead.
• Melt on Stovetop – This fudge recipe is best made on the stovetop verses the microwave. This is to prevent the fudge from being grainy so that the brown sugar can be fully dissolved.
• Perfect Fudge Tips – For even more tips and tricks, read our5 Tips to make the perfect fudge recipe.
• Prepare Baking Dish – To easily remove the fudge from the square baking pan, spray with cooking spray. We also recommend to line with parchment paper to easily cut into slices.

How Do You Harden Fudge?

Often when fudge does not set, the sugar mixture was not cooked long enough. Just make sure to follow the recipe exactly.

If you end up with soft fudge. Try placing in the fridge for an extra 30 minutes and then in the freezer for several hours.
