Make the ultimate creamy, melt-in-your-mouth maple fudge using pure maple syrup. This recipe is straightforward and delivers rich, sweet flavor perfect for sharing or enjoying yourself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Milk
  • 2/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • (Optional) 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. Combine sugar, milk, and maple syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  3. Stir continuously over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Stop stirring once boiling begins. Cook the mixture without stirring until it reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit (Soft-Ball Stage) on a candy thermometer.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat immediately.
  6. Carefully stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the butter melts. Do not overmix.
  7. Let the mixture cool undisturbed until it reaches 110 degrees Fahrenheit. This cooling step is key for texture.
  8. Beat the fudge mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until it thickens and loses its gloss, becoming dull and spreadable. This takes several minutes.
  9. If using nuts, quickly fold them in.
  10. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  11. Let the fudge set completely at room temperature or slightly chilled before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Use only 100% pure maple syrup for the best authentic flavor.
  • Accurate temperature measurement is crucial for perfect fudge texture.
  • If you do not have a thermometer, cool the mixture until a drop hardens when placed in ice water.
  • Beat quickly once the correct temperature is reached to avoid graininess.
