EASY BUTTERSCOTCH FUDGE



Easy Butterscotch Fudge image

Simple and quite delicious, no candy thermometer or "soft ball stage test" needed. I think the taste is better when made with butter, however, margarine may certainly be used. The way I cut mine, I get about 60 small pieces out of a pan. The recipe makes approx. 3 pounds. I cool my fudge in the fridge first to harden, then put back out in a sealed container at room temperature. This recipe is a modified version of the one found on the Kraft marshmallow creme jar. Time doesn't include cooling time; you can decide when it's ready.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the fudge from scorching.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the fudge to reach the right temperature. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with grainy fudge.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the fudge reaches the correct temperature: This is the best way to ensure that the fudge has cooked to the right stage.
  • Don't overbeat the fudge: Once the fudge has reached the right temperature, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before beating it. Beating it too much will make it grainy.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
