Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, unsalted butter, and golden syrup.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir well to combine.
Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, for a total of 6-8 minutes. The mixture should be thick, bubbly, and a shade darker in color. Be cautious as the bowl will be hot.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract and white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
If desired, sprinkle sea salt evenly over the top for a salted caramel flavor.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely (about 2 hours).
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper, and cut into 16 equal squares or smaller bite-sized pieces.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
