Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Salted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a square 8x8-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugars dissolve.

Step 4

Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the mixture until it reaches the soft-ball stage (238°F/114°C). This will take about 6-8 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and beat it with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until it thickens and becomes creamy. This step helps develop the signature fudge texture.

Step 7

Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until fully set and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Once hardened, lift the parchment paper out of the pan or release the fudge and cut it into 1-inch squares.

Step 10

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