Description

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate pieces
• 1/3 cup light corn syrup (Karo Syrup Red Label)
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Optional: 1 cup walnut halves or dried cranberries

Directions

• Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine sugar and evaporated milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils, about 5 mins.
• Turn heat to low and continue cooking while stirring constantly, until the liquid has reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and immediately add chocolate, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla.
• Vigorously stir until chocolate has melted and fudge is smooth and creamy. If using, stir in nuts or dried fruit.
• Immediately pour into the baking dish and quickly smooth the top with an offset spatula. The top will set quickly.
• Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
• Cut into squares, share with friends, and keep leftovers in a cute parchment lined tin in a cool dark place.
