LINDA'S EASY MAPLE FUDGE
I found two different Maple Fudge recipes but neither one was 'just right'. This is a combination of the two. I make this for Christmas every year, one batch with lots of walnuts & one without for my non- nutty friends & family. I make only at Christmas because we just cannot resist this fudge and it keeps it special. You can add...

Steps:
- 1. Over medium high heat, bring butter, brown sugar and carnation milk to a boil.
- 2. Reduce heat to medium, simmer for 7 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 3. Remove from heat. Add the maple extract and give a quick mix.
- 4. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and beat with an electric or hand mixer for 2 minutes.
- 5. Stir in nuts by hand if using. Pour into an 8x8 or 9x9 pan, lightly buttered. Cool.
- 6. This makes a large batch of fudge and in the 8x8 or 9x9 pan it is quite thick, so cut into small squares. I chop the walnuts fairly large but they can be any size you prefer.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching.
- Stir the fudge constantly to prevent it from crystallizing.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- To prevent the fudge from sticking to the pan, grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- If the fudge is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
- If the fudge is too thin, cook it for a few minutes longer.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Conclusion:
Making maple fudge is a delicious and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sweet and creamy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Linda's Easy Maple Fudge a try. You won't be disappointed!
