How to Make Homemade Vanilla Fudge
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Let cool completely at room temperature, or for faster cooling, place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
