Penuche is a fudge-like candy that is made from brown sugar, butter and milk. At first, I didn’t think it had worked as it was a little hard to cut, but wow! It is amazing how soft it goes when you place it in your mouth.
We found this to be really delicious! It was funny to watch hubby grab a handful as he rushed out to go to work.
Ingredients
- 3 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup cream
- 1 TBSP glucose
- 2 TBSP butter or margarine
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Grease an 8 inch square baking pan with baking paper and set it aside.
- In a large saucepan, over medium heat, slowly bring the sugar, cream and glucose to the boil, stirring constantly.
- When boiling, cover and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat.
- Uncover and then cook until it gets to 112C on a candy thermometer or the soft-ball stage (when a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms into a ball which flattens on removal from water).
- Stir in the butter and then cool without stirring until it is lukewarm, about 43C. This will take around 45 minutes.
- Add the vanilla essence and the marshmallow fluff and beat with a wooden spoon until thickened.
- Pour into the prepared pan and cool on the bench.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
