Salted Caramel Fudge
With its rich, buttery caramel and a hint of sea salt, Salted Caramel Fudge is the perfect sweet and salty treat to satisfy any craving!
Ingredients
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 bag (10 ounces) caramel bits
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon flaky salt, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure it goes up the sides slightly for easy removal.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Once boiling, continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in caramel bits until they are completely melted and fully combined.
- Add marshmallow fluff, vanilla extract, and flaky salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle a little extra flakey salt over the top.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully set. Cut into squares and enjoy!
