Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Butterscotch chips
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat.
Stir continuously with a rubber spatula until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to let it burn.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or your desired serving size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
