Description
Butterscotch Fudge is a rich and creamy treat that combines the deep, buttery flavor of butterscotch with the smooth texture of traditional fudge. It’s a delightful alternative to classic chocolate fudge and is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with waxed paper or parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips and sweetened condensed milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the butterscotch chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt until well incorporated.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for about 4 hours or until firm.
- Serve: Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the overhanging paper. Cut into 1-inch squares.
Notes
- Variations: For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in chopped walnuts or pecans before pouring the fudge into the pan. A sprinkle of coarse sea salt on top can also enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
- Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator.
