How to Make Maple Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup of maple syrup and 1/2 cup of milk.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and continue to boil until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (approximately 235°F/113°C).
  3. Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 3-5 minutes. Be cautious as the mixture will be very hot.
  4. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until it becomes creamy and loses its gloss. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or even peanuts work well).
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into an 8-inch buttered square pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly.
  7. Allow the fudge to cool completely and firm up at room temperature, or for faster cooling, place it in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes.
  8. Once firm, cut the fudge into squares.
  9. Store your delicious maple fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a week. Enjoy!
