Making the decadent Vanilla Fudge

Tips for Melt in Your Mouth Vanilla Fudge

  • Creaminess: Fudge gets it’s creaminess from small sugar crystals that form as you mix it while it cools. But be sure to allow it to cool slightly before you mix it. It should be about 230 degrees before you start to mix it. Otherwise large sugar crystals will form and result in grainy fudge.
  • Beat it:  For best results mix till almost set then pour into the pan.
  • Why does mine look darker? Don’t fret if your vanilla fudge isn’t white but more of a tan. This could be because of two things. The caramelization of the butter, sugar and evaporated milk. And if you used a dark vanilla extract. Both are totally normal and won’t change the flavor.
  • Store it: Fudge can be kept at room temperature or in the fridge. After about a week the fudge can begin to dry out and become crumbly. Make sure to wrap tightly and store in air tight container to help it not dry out.

Variations of White Vanilla Fudge

This is a beautiful recipe to customize to your needs or tastes. You can get really creative with it.

  • Nuts: Add cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans or a mixture of all of the above if you love nuts.
  • Color:  Add food coloring to change the color to match your festivities from holidays to baby showers.
  • Dried Fruit: Add dried cherries or cranberries for a nice tart tang to your fudge
  • Candy: Crush candy canes (there are so many flavors now) you can really have fun with this one.
  • Cookies:  Stir in your favorite crushed cookies, from Oreos to Ginger Snaps, the possibilities are endless.
  • Flavorings: Change up the flavorings for a different flavor, try butter rum, lemon, almond or coconut.
