How to Make See's Fudge Candy The Original Recipe

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and milk. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
  3. Continue boiling, without stirring, until the thermometer registers 238°F (114°C) – the soft-ball stage. This is crucial for the perfect fudge texture.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the hot mixture into a large bowl. Let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes, until it’s lukewarm but still slightly warm to the touch. Avoid cooling it too much.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture begins to thicken and loses its shine.
  6. Beat on high speed for another 3-5 minutes, until the fudge is creamy, smooth, and holds its shape. The mixture will become lighter in color as you beat it.
  7. Pour the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch baking pan or similar sized container. Spread it evenly.
  8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fudge to set completely.
  9. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy your piece of history! Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
