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)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, unsalted butter, and golden syrup.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then stir well to combine.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract and white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle sea salt evenly over the top for a salted caramel flavor.

Step 8

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely (about 2 hours).

Step 9

Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper, and cut into 16 equal squares or smaller bite-sized pieces.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
