BUTTERY RICH PENUCHE FUDGE RECIPE - ORIGINAL METHOD



Buttery Rich Penuche Fudge Recipe - Original Method image

The original penuche fudge recipe I had on my site. It's perfectly buttery and rich. This recipe is faster with fewer steps, but you need to be more precise. If you're a beginner without a lot of candy experience, you can also try the "shock and stir" recipe below.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup (light, not dark)
1 1/4 cup whole milk (half & half, or evaporated milk)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (toasted, (optional))

Steps:

  • Line a 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving 2-inches overhang on two opposing sides. Make sure to fold the paper into the corners of the pan.
  • In a heavy saucepan over medium-low flame, heat brown sugar, white sugar, corn syrup, milk, butter, and salt to 242°F (117°C) while stirring occasionally to prevent the bottom from scorching. Cooking should take anywhere from 20-25 minutes.
  • Immediately pour penuche into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add vanilla extract. Beat on medium for 4 minutes, until fudge is thick and smooth. Lower speed to low and add walnuts or other chopped nuts, and beat just a few times until the nuts are dispersed evenly into the penuche. Turn off the mixer.
  • Using a spatula greased with butter, spread penuche fudge into the square pan lined with parchment. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting. If refrigerated, penuche will keep in a sealed container for up to a week. For maximum freshness, don't cut until ready to serve.

1 cup walnuts
Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
One 7.5-ounce jar marshmallow creme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
