🍬 Salted Caramel Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (200g) brown sugar (light or dark)

• 14 oz (397g) can sweetened condensed milk

• 1/2 cup (120g) unsalted butter

• 1/4 cup (60ml) golden syrup or light corn syrup

• 1/2 tsp sea salt (plus more for topping)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Prepare Pan:
   Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

2. Melt Ingredients:
   In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, combine:

   • brown sugar

   • sweetened condensed milk

   • butter

   • golden syrup

   • salt

   Stir constantly until everything is melted and smooth.

3. Cook the Fudge:
   Increase heat to medium-low and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and reaches the soft ball stage (234–240°F or 112–115°C) on a candy thermometer. This may take 10–15 minutes.

4. Add Vanilla:
   Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Pour and Set:
   Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while still warm.

6. Cool and Cut:
   Let cool at room temperature for several hours or chill in the fridge until firm. Cut into squares.

Tips:

• Use a candy thermometer for best results.

• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

• For extra richness, drizzle with melted dark chocolate once set.
