Simple Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 250g margarine
- 1 tin (about 395g) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish (or a similar-sized pan) with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This will make it easier to remove the fudge later.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine the white sugar, water, margarine, and condensed milk.
-
Cook the Mixture: Over medium heat, stir the ingredients constantly until the margarine has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Simmer and Stir: Once the mixture is boiling, lower the heat to medium-low. Keep stirring constantly to prevent burning. Continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes. You’ll want to let it thicken slightly and reach the soft-ball stage (around 235°F to 240°F or 113°C to 116°C) if you have a candy thermometer. If you don’t have one, you can test by dropping a small amount of the mixture into a glass of cold water – it should form a soft ball when cooled.
-
Remove from Heat: Once the fudge mixture has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Be careful not to overcook it, as it can become too hard.
-
Beat the Fudge: Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes, and then stir it vigorously to help it set. This can take a bit of arm strength! If desired, you can add flavorings like vanilla extract or a pinch of salt at this point.
-
Pour and Cool: Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for about 2-3 hours to fully set.
-
Serve: Once chilled and firm, cut the fudge into squares and serve. Enjoy this sweet, creamy treat!
This fudge is super simple to make and so satisfying. If you want to customize it, you can add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or swirl in some peanut butter before cooling. Enjoy your fudge-making!
