Here’s a simple, old-fashioned Sweet Milk Fudge Squares recipe—rich, creamy, and perfect for cutting into small treats 🧈🍬
🍫 Sweet Milk Fudge Squares
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, coconut, or peanut butter swirl
Instructions
- Prepare Pan
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly butter it.
- Cook the Fudge
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue boiling 5–6 minutes, stirring so it doesn’t scorch.
- Finish
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla (and any add-ins if using).
- Beat with a wooden spoon for about 1–2 minutes until slightly thick and glossy.
- Set
- Pour quickly into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Let cool completely at room temperature.
- Cut & Serve
- Cut into squares once fully set.
Tips
- Don’t overcook—too long will make the fudge grainy.
- For chocolate milk fudge, add ¼ cup cocoa powder with the sugar.
- Store covered at room temperature or refrigerate for firmer squares.
