Here is my own fav recipe from the kitchen.
Maple Syrup Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup of maple syrup
1 cup of heavy cream
2 cups of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Prepare a 9-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the maple syrup, heavy cream, sugar, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches the soft-ball stage on a candy thermometer (235-240°F).
Once the mixture has reached the soft-ball stage, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature (110°F). This can take up to an hour, so be patient.
Once the mixture has cooled, beat it with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until it starts to thicken and loses its glossy appearance.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
Once the fudge has set, remove it from the pan by pulling on the edges of the parchment paper or using a knife to loosen the sides. Cut the fudge into small squares and serve.
This maple syrup fudge is a decadent treat that’s perfect for any occasion. The rich, buttery flavor of the fudge is complemented by the sweet, maple syrup flavor, making it a crowd-pleaser. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
