Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (247g) maple syrup, reduced to 1/2 cup or a little less (about 140-150g)
- 1 ½ cups (297g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (161g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup (160g) evaporated milk
- 2 tbsp (40g) corn syrup
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips
- 7 oz marshmallow creme
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups (about 155g) whole walnuts, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and arrange walnuts in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Toast for 7 to 10 minutes until lightly browned.
- Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch square pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until it reduces to about ½ cup. Let cool.
- Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and the reduced maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until melted, then let it boil without stirring for 4 to 8 minutes until thermometer reads 236 to 238ºF.
- Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and salt until smooth.
- Mix in 1 cup of toasted walnuts into the fudge mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top.
- Allow the fudge to cool and set for about 6 to 8 hours, or overnight for best results.
Notes
Make sure not to stir the mixture once it starts boiling to avoid unwanted crystallization.
Toasting walnuts enhances their flavor, but you can skip this step by using raw walnuts.
For best results, allow the fudge to set overnight before cutting for cleaner slices.
