Make this easy maple fudge for a sweet and smooth homemade candy treat. This recipe delivers a melt in your mouth texture using real maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and pure maple syrup.
  3. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let the mixture boil.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter until it is fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts now.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly.
  7. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour until firm.
  8. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup.
  • If you prefer a firmer fudge, you can cook the mixture slightly longer, stirring until it reaches 235 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer.
  • Store homemade maple fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
