Make this simple, velvety smooth maple fudge using pure maple syrup. This recipe delivers rich flavor and a creamy texture, perfect for homemade gifts or holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional, for Maple Walnut Fudge)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, maple syrup, and butter.
  3. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter melt completely and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  4. Continue stirring and cook the mixture until it reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer, or until it thickens slightly (about 8 to 10 minutes). This step is key for creamy fudge.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  6. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts now.
  7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly.
  8. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill completely, about 2 to 3 hours, until firm.
  9. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use Grade A Dark Robust Taste (formerly Grade B) pure maple syrup. This provides a deeper maple taste.
  • If you do not have a candy thermometer, cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon heavily.
  • Store this homemade maple fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerated for longer storage.
