Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (247g) maple syrup, reduced to 1/2 cup or a little less (about 140-150g)
- 1 ½ cups (297g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (161g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup (160g) evaporated milk
- 2 tbsp (40g) corn syrup
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips
- 7 oz marshmallow creme
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups (about 155g) whole walnuts, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spread walnuts in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Toast for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned.
- Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch square pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add maple syrup. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until reduced to about ½ cup. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and reduced maple syrup. Stir constantly until melted and bring to a full boil.
- Let it boil without stirring for 4 to 8 minutes until a thermometer reads 236 to 238ºF. Ensure the thermometer doesn’t touch the pan bottom.
- Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and salt until smooth.
- Fold in 1 cup of toasted walnuts until evenly combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of walnuts on top.
- Allow fudge to cool and set for 6 to 8 hours before cutting into squares.
Notes
For a nut-free option, you can omit the walnuts.
Ensure the maple syrup is properly reduced for the best texture.
Letting the fudge set overnight will give you cleaner cuts.
