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