Home Made Fudge – Simple, Sweet & Reliable

Ingredients

  • 397g tin condensed milk
  • 120g butter
  • 450g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Method

  • Warm ingredients — Add condensed milk, caster sugar, and butter to a saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves.
  • Bring to a boil — Turn up the heat and let it bubble for 10–12 minutes, stirring often.
  • Beat until thick — Remove from heat, add vanilla, then beat for 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens and loses its shine.
  • Set in a tin — Pour into a lined tray, smooth the top, and let it cool completely.
  • Slice into squares — Once firm, cut into neat pieces.

Why Caster Sugar Works Well

  • Gives a lighter colour
  • Makes the fudge slightly firmer
  • Keeps the flavour clean and sweet
  • Melts quickly → less chance of graininess

No Rules

There are no limits to fudge — add chocolate, swirl in caramel, mix in nuts, or keep it classic and sweet. Everyone makes fudge differently, and that’s the fun of it.
