It Bakes Me Happy: Creamy Vanilla Fudge
Can you believe that Christmas is in two days? That’s right TWO! I am so excited and a little terrified that I will forget something important and hugely disappoint someone on my list. I’m still expecting a few deliveries today and crossing my fingers that they get here on time. One sure way to keep your friends and family happy this holiday season is by making them a few goodies. You can fill their tummies and satisfy their sweet tooth at the same time and what better way to do both than with a little candy!

I made this fudge over the weekend per my husbands request, he’s not a big chocolate fan, unless it has peanut butter mixed in. So I decided to cook up a batch of classic vanilla fudge and add a few festive sprinkles on top. Let me warn you, not only is this fudge super smooth and creamy, it’s really rich. So grab a glass of milk and whip yourself up a batch; it literally melts in your mouth. My daughter described it as ice cream, thats how good it is! Out of the mouths of babes I tell you! So I know just you are going to love this decadent fudge too; enjoy and happy holidays!

  • 2 c sugar
  • 3/4 c milk
  • 4 Tbs white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp corn syrup
  • dash salt
  • 2 Tbs butter

Instructions

  1. Butter an 8"x8" baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat cook the sugar, milk, corn syrup and white chocolate chips until boiling; stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
  3. Place a candy thermometer in the pan and cook to 234º (soft ball stage).
  4. Remove from the heat and add the butter, do not stir.
  5. Set aside to cool until the temperature on the thermometer reads 110º, add the vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes thick and dull looking, the color will lighten significantly as the air is whipped in.
  6. Quickly spread the mixture into the baking pan and add the sprinkles.
  7. Let cool in the pan, scoring the fudge into slices after the first 15 minutes, then cool completely.
  8. Slice and serve.
