Ingredients

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to lift the fudge out later. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, and unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth and combined.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for 10-12 minutes while stirring, until the mixture thickens and turns a rich caramel color.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the white chocolate chips and vanilla extract until fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the caramel fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula and smooth the top.

Step 7

Sprinkle sea salt over the fudge, if desired, for a salted caramel finish.

Step 8

Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2-3 hours or until firm.

Step 9

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 10

Store the caramel fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
