Penuche fudge is a delightful variation of traditional fudge, known for its brown sugar base, which gives it a distinctive flavor reminiscent of caramel or toffee. Unlike chocolate fudge, penuche is made with brown sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla extract, resulting in a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth confection with a rich, caramel-like taste. It’s a popular treat in various parts of the United States, especially in New England. Here’s a simple recipe to make your own penuche fudge at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of heavy cream (you can also use evaporated milk for a slightly different flavor)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional; walnuts or pecans are commonly used)
Equipment:
- Medium to large heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Candy thermometer
