Butterscotch Fudge Recipe

Butterscotch Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups butterscotch chips
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan:
   • Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
2. Melt the Ingredients:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
   • Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the butterscotch chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
   • Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the mixture to seize.
3. Add Flavorings:
   • Once the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
4. Pour and Set:
   • Pour the warm mixture into the prepared baking dish.
   • Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
5. Chill:
   • Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch.
6. Cut and Serve:
   • Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
   • Place the fudge on a cutting board and cut it into squares.
7. Store:
   • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.

Notes:

• Variations: You can add a variety of toppings or mix-ins to the fudge before chilling. Consider adding chopped nuts, a swirl of melted chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
• Serving Tip: This fudge pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea and makes a great homemade gift during the holidays.
