Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 cups Powdered sugar, sifted
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir in the packed light brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to bubble around the edges. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract to the saucepan and mix well.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.

Step 7

Pour the slightly cooled brown sugar mixture over the powdered sugar in the bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or use a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.

Step 8

Quickly transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour, until firm.

Step 10

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut it into 1-inch squares to serve.

Step 11

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
