This is my all time favourite fudge recipe. Incredibly more-ish, condensed milk and white chocolate helps to give these their smooth, fudgy, creamy base. Brown sugar and golden syrup give them a deep, caramel flavour. No sugar thermometer needed, these couldn't be easier to make and make wonderful edible gifts.
Time to make : 30 minutes
Makes : 25 chunks
Ingredients
1 can (397g) condensed milk (full fat)
200g soft light brown sugar
120g butter, unsalted
4 tbsp golden syrup
200g white chocolate, finely chopped/chips
1 - 2 tsp flakey sea salt, plus extra to top
Method
Grease and line an 8 x 8 inch square baking tin.
Put a large saucepan over a low - medium heat. Add in the condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and golden syrup. Melt together gently until everything is smooth.
Increase the heat to medium - high until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. The mixture should thicken and come away from the sides. Keep stirring until bubbles contiue to appear even whilst your stirring. At this point, remove from the heat.
Add in the white chocolate and 1 - 2 tsp of salt, mix to stir until melted and everthing is smooth and even. You can taste test for the salt using a teaspoon, but allow the fudge mixture to cool for a minute after you have scooped some onto your teaspoon as it will be boiling hot.
Pour the mixture into your prepared tin. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Slice with a sharp, warm knife into squares (about 1.5" each, this should allow for 5 squares along the top and sides). Finish with an extra sprinkle of flakey sea salt.
