This caramel fudge is simple to make and tastes so very delicious. It is great as a snack, dessert or even to give out at a bake sale.
Caramel Fudge (aka Russian Fudge)
This is not a quick microwavable recipe that produces soft, fudge. This recipe is made on the stove top, taking quite a bit of time. It produces a slightly harder fudge that melts in your mouth.
To make this fudge, add the sugar and milk to a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil, making sure the sugar dissolves in the process.
Then, add the condensed milk, butter, salt and golden syrup.
Boil for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently so that it doesn’t burn. This mixture will need to hit the ‘soft ball’ stage which is 240˚F or 115˚C if you have a candy thermometer.
Pour into a mixing bowl and beat with electric beaters for a few minutes – do this quickly before it sets.
Pour into a lined tray and let cool on the bench.
Cut into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tips
- This fudge could be made up to a week ahead, though it will need to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Make sure you have everything prepared before you start, as when it starts to set, it will set very quickly so you will need to work fast.
- When cutting the fudge, leave it out on the bench for about 15 minutes and use a sharp hot knife to slice it.
- Fudge can be frozen for a short period of time.
