Easy Caramel Fudge

Serves 40

  • 125g butter
    1½ cups Bundaberg rich brown sugar
    2 tablespoons Bundaberg golden syrup
    395g can condensed milk
    180g white cooking chocolate, coarsely chopped
    ½ cup shelled, unsalted pistachio nuts (optional)

     

Line a 28cm x 18cm x 3cm pan with foil. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add brown sugar, golden syrup and condensed milk; stir over a medium heat until boiling. Lower heat and cook, stirring for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate; stir until smooth. The fudge will start to set quite quickly, so immediately stir in nuts and pour into prepared pan, then spread evenly with the back of a spoon. Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate until firm. Cut into small pieces.

freezing

I froze it :) still good :)

Best recipe

BEST fudge recipe!!!!

RE: FREEZE?

Although this recipe has not been tested for freezing, Caramel based sweets do not usually freeze that well so we would avoid freezing if possible.

Freeze?

Has anyone tried freezing this fudge?

YUM!!!

I am so going to make this today... I can't wait with all these rave reviews!!! I think I
Will an some ginger or milk chocolate or orangeeices!!! Can't wait!

Caramel Fudge

The best fudge I have ever tasted and try adding jaffa's my family loved it!

Try adding macadamia nuts

I'm not a fan of pistachio nuts so instead added 3/4 cup of cut macadamia nuts. This fudge is so easy and always a winner

Yummmmmmo! Just call me Master Chef :)

For someone that can burn water; Have the fire brigade rock up cause I set off the smoke alarm; Mind you my dogs don't even like my cooking! All I can say is....... Thank you...... For the 1st time ever I felt like a Master Chef.... The fudge was delicious and easy to follow. (left the nuts out, who needs em anyway.....)

Just beautiful.

PS. Watch pouring the fudge out into the tin, I did burn my finger, yes it was bloomin hot.... Maybe I should just stay outta the kitchen ;)

ymmy

absolutely brilliant

The Hit

ITS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yum

i made this without the nuts and it is so yummy and rich love it

Really good

This was delicious to eat!

Easy Caramel Fudge

This is the best recipe that I've tried for fudge, it works every time, just follow the instructions and don't take your eye off the pot.

yum

1 word: YUM!

so delighted

I made this recipe for the first time- i had never made fudge before.. the instructions are simple- ingredients simple to work with and the effort of stirring for 10 minutes was exact.

The taste- to die for.

A hit!

Agree with all previous comments re the greatness of this recipe. Tried two versions: milk choc/roasted almonds, and white choc/roasted macadamias -- both delicious. Only 1 cup of sugar in each too. Fab!

Yum Yum Yum!!

I've made this twice now & both with 1/4 cup of Bailey's, & this time I split the mixture into 2 batches just before adding the chocolate, I added 90gm of milk choc to the first half & poured into tray, let set a couple of mins then added 90gm of white choc to the 2nd half, this should made a nice 2 tone Choc/caramel fudge. : D I'm sure it will be enjoyed by my family xmas day.

I used ginger instead of nuts!

I saw a recipe in a magazine for ginger caramel fudge and tried it last week ... and it didn't set. (Still yummy on ice cream - so not a total failure.) I tried this one today - but replaced the nuts with chopped crystalised ginger (probably around 1/3 c) and it is PERFECT! It does start to set very quickly - so work fast. The advantage is that this recipe - start to finish (including arranging it on a pretty plate and tying with a ribbon for a gift) was under 2 hours, including time to chill in the fridge. Highly recommend!

Looks great

I'm going to have a go making this as a partial Chrissie present for my mum and dad; the comments are really promising and I'm really excited :) Thanks!

easy caramel fudge

Have just made this for the grandchildren; all easy so far. As I want to include some with their Christmas gifts can someone advise me how long will it stay firm when removed from frig and should I wrap individual pieces. TIA.

caramel fudge

this recipe looks good, im going to make it tommorow but it wont last long!!!

if its sets too quick . . .

when you take the fudge off the heat, drop on the chocolate and leave for a minute so it melts, then stir it in. It can be cooked until it just makes a soft ball in cold water so try testing at 7 minutes and then every minute after that.

SO EASY

This fudge really is so good and so easy to make. Made it without the nuts and it's just as good.

Delicious

This recipe is just perfect.
I have made it today and just got everyone`s favourite.
It is so simple!!!
I just added a shot of baileys and got yummy. Thanks

Great fudge but found 1 cup of brown sugar to be better...
I added peanut butter it was interesting too..

its a good recipe it could do with a little less chocolate and the only thing that i hate about it is the pasatio nut ! eeeeeew

best fudge ever!!!

BEST CARAMEL FUDGE EVER !!!!!!!!!!!

OMG this was so easy i just made it with my 13 year old daughter and my 28 year old sister we loved it so much all the fudge went in 1 hour lol

Try adding less chocolate (I

Try adding less chocolate (I use milk cooking chocolate). 100-130g is usually sufficient. It will still set very quickly, as described, but should remain creamier.

The addition of butterscotch liquer or Baileys also compliments this recipe.

RE:HELP! to all you bakers out there

The fudge does tend to set quickly. Turn off heat on stovetop, but return the pot to the stove if the mix starts setting. Keeping a little heat under the mix, will help it to stay smooth while you are stirring in the chocolate and/or nuts.

Good luck.

HELP! to all you bakers out there

It was all going so well; until I added the chocolate & it started to set immediately, as described, but also lost it's creamy texture.

Any ideas that I could try or what am i doing wrong?

i have been looking

i have been looking everywhere for a good fudge recipe and this sounds like the one with all these comments .cant wait to try it!!!! it looks delioucous just can you freeze it

BAILEY'S FUDGE

Loooooove this recipe, I'm back here to remind myself of the recipe (like I need to !!) to make it for the 100th odd time! Always a crowd pleaser for those special occasions and I like to add Bailey's to mine for an extra SMOOTH mouth watering fudge - YUM!!

coolies

SCRUMDIDLIUMPTIOUS
NOMNOMONOMNOMNOMNOMNOM
lol
this isss sooooooooooooooooooo good
i had to submit it for a food technology assignment as part of a hamper, and i got full marks!

Caramel Fudge

I used cooking cocoa instead of the chocolate and as I have a heart condition and butter is too fatty for me I used the same quntity of Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of the butter. Blew my taste buds into heaven... Go for it.. I grew up in the confectionary manufacturing business and my grandfather in 1908 when he started the family confectionary (candy) business, I'm sure he would have licked his chops too.

Better than bought

It's true :D It's extremely easy to make. I didn't put any pistachios in, but even by itself it was great >____<

coopsda loves fudge

im 13 years old and love cooking and made this with my mum and it was awesome. im in that stage were i dont like anything healthy so i didnt put any nuts in but it still tasted great. try with milk chocolate instead of white. it tastes just as good. I say this is the best fudge ever!!!!!

best ever

i make this all the time, for every occasion. it is even used as currency. i use macadamia nuts with a nuts liquer added. i have made with hazle nuts too.

From experience, the fudge

From experience, the fudge starts getting soft if left out of the fridge. You'd probably have to keep it in an Esky to keep it cool at the markets.

Packaging and storing

I am attempting to sell this fudge at markets.

is there anything I should know about storing it and how long it lasts out of fridge?

Thanks

Halley

Easiest Fudge ever

I just made it, it behaved exactly as was described, easy and so lovely, creamy and sweet. great easy to follow recipe.
We are thinking of dipping the pieces in melted milk chocolate to make it even more delectable.
