How to Make Maple Walnut Fudge
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the maple syrup, butter, and evaporated milk. Clip your candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) – the soft-ball stage. This will take about 20-25 minutes. Do not stir constantly, as this can cause crystallization.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Stir in the toasted walnuts.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
