Here's what you'll need for the fanciest tasting recipe you'll make all season. This deliciousness is adapted from british measurements at this site.
1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ cup golden syrup
1 stick of butter
1 cup of white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of sea salt flakes
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ cup golden syrup
1 stick of butter
1 cup of white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of sea salt flakes
Line an 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
Add first five ingredients, save the white chocolate chips and sea salt, to a heavy saucepan.
The one ingredient you may not have heard of is the Golden Syrup. It’s a British product. A thick, golden syrup that comes in a very cool, vintage-looking can. I was able to find it at Metropolitan Market in Seattle for just under $6. If you can’t find it at your high-end grocery store, they sell it on Amazon. And, although the rest of this recipe is not vegan, the golden syrup is! Some people use it as a substitute for honey.
Cook over low heat stirring constantly until mixture sugar has dissolved. This took me about 12 minutes.
At this point the original instructions said to increase the heat and bring to a simmer until the mixture thickened and came away from the side of the pan. This never happened for me. I just advise to keep cooking it about 5-10 minutes more.Then remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate until combined and melted. Again, this was not as easy as it sounds. It took me a lot of stirring and the help of my husband smooshing up the chips to get all the chocolate completely melted and combined into the final, beautifully smooth fudge mixture.
One you’ve got the mixture looking good, pour it into your prepared 8x8 pan. Smooth the top, if necessary, and sprinkle with the sea salt flakes, pressing the flakes into fudge with back of spoon to secure, if necessary. My fudge was still pretty soft and liquid when I poured it into the pan so it was smooth and the sea salt flakes kind of melted nicely into the top without much effort.
Set aside for 30 minutes and then chill overnight. Cut into 64 1-inch pieces and refridgerate in an airtight container.
With the imported golden syrup and the sea salt flakes, this is not a cheap recipe. But it’s worth it. It tastes like pure gold and is a great gift for friends, family and coworkers. Trust me, you’re going to want to give this away because 1, when people taste it they will think you are a goddess in the kitchen and 2, you don’t want 64 pieces of this sitting around your house for the whole holiday season.
