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 over medium heat.
  2. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Attach a candy thermometer and cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage).
  4. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla extract; stir until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased or silicone-lined square pan and let cool at room temperature until set.
  6. Cut into squares once fully cooled and firm.

Notes

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