Maple Nut Fudge

A super easy fudge recipe with a maple nut flavor you'll love. No candy thermometer, no fuss. Just pour and cut! Makes 20 squares.
Prep Time:30 minutes
Chill Time:4 hours
Total Time:4 hours 30 minutes

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Cooling rack or flat surface

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
  • ¼ cup real maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup walnuts (chopped)

Instructions

  • Prepare the baking dish.  Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1-2 inch overhang on all sides to easily remove the fudge later.
  • Melt the base ingredients.  Combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Then, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is completely smooth and thickened, about 8–10 minutes.
    Tip: make sure the chocolate melts fully without any lumps for a silky fudge texture.
  • Add the walnuts.  Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Pour and smooth the mixture.  Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly. If air bubbles appear, gently tap the dish against the countertop to release them.
    Optional: Sprinkle extra chopped walnuts on top.
  • Chill the fudge.  Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
  • Cut and serve.  Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into equal squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store the fudge in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 2 weeks at room temperature. I don’t recommend refrigerating as this will draw out moisture from the fudge and make it dry and crumbly.
Do not add more maple syrup to this recipe, as the fudge will not set correctly. If you want to add more maple flavoring, try adding maple extract.
I suggest using real maple syrup for this recipe for the best flavor, but any can be used.
