Print Recipe

Simple ingredients, unforgettable flavor. This Penuche Fudge is made with brown sugar for a melt-in-your-mouth candy you’ll love. Old-fashioned goodness in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, plus additional for buttering parchment
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, plus additional for topping if desired

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring as needed.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Gently pour in the milk and, stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the mixture is lukewarm or at room temperature.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Stir in powdered sugar, one to one-half cup at a time, stirring until completely combined. Add powdered sugar just until the mixture is thick and has the consistency of fudge.
  8. Stir in coarsely chopped pecans.
  9. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan and top with additional pecans if desired.
  10. Cover and cool until firm.
  11. Cut into squares and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Notes

This penuche fudge is very sweet, so cut into small squares. Use pecans or walnuts according to preference. The fudge will harden as it chills, so adjust powdered sugar to achieve the right consistency before chilling.
