Old Fashioned Penuche Fudge

Print Recipe

A classic creamy fudge made with brown sugar, cream, butter, and vanilla, delivering a rich caramel flavor with a smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups whipping cream (or half-and-half)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 ounces, or half a stick)
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine brown sugar, whipping cream, salt, and light corn syrup in a heavy saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (234°F to 240°F) on a candy thermometer.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Beat the mixture vigorously until it thickens and loses its gloss, then pour into a greased or silicone-lined square pan.
  5. Allow to cool completely at room temperature until firm before cutting into squares.

Notes

Using a candy thermometer is essential for precise temperature control to ensure the fudge sets properly. A silicone pan helps with easy removal without the need for lining or greasing. Avoid margarine as it contains water that prevents proper setting.
