Recipe notes
Sugar – When it comes to fudge, the most important step is to watch your sugar closely. To avoid burnt caramel, make sure you heat the sugar mixture slowly over low heat and keeping stirring the mixture constantly.
Golden syrup – If you don’t have golden syrup or can’t find it, just leave it out. Your fudge will taste slightly different but it will still be delicious.
Recipe variations – To add some texture to your fudge, feel fee to add in your choice of nuts, dried fruits or marshmallows. Some of our favourite additions include pecans, peanuts, cashews and pistachios. Adding sea salt can also create a delicious salted caramel fudge.
Storage – Carmel fudge is best kept in the fridge. It’ll need at least 3-4 hours to set, but if you can leave it overnight, that’s even better. This fudge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.
