Penuche Fudge
- Comments()
- Yield Makes 18 pieces
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
- 5 ounces (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 ounces toasted walnuts, chopped (1 cup)
Directions
-
Coat a 5-by-10-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line with plastic wrap leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides.
-
Bring evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture registers 236 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 25 minutes.
-
Transfer to a mixer bowl, and beat in confectioners' sugar on low speed. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Increase speed to medium, and beat until mixture is thickened and smooth, 2 to 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add vanilla and walnuts.
-
Spread mixture in pan, smoothing top. Refrigerate, uncovered, until firm, about 25 minutes. Unmold fudge using plastic overhang, and discard plastic. Cut into 18 pieces.
Cook's Note
Penuche will keep, covered, for up to 1 week.
Hadn't had penuche in years and then had it on a recent trip to Solvang, CA. I was so happy to find a recipe on Martha Stewart. I made mine without nuts and it was creamy and delcious. The recipe was very easy. Thanks Martha!
MIne did not work the first time, it separated because I cooked it too hot/too fast. I was exact about the medium low the second time and it was perfect!
I'd been searching for a recipe that was similar to See's Candies' "Butterscotch Squares" -- this is it minus the chocolate covering! I LOVE this recipe. I just made up a batch to include in my annual Christmas candy gifting. And now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll make another batch just for the house!
I made this twice in the past two weeks and it came out great each time.
Did this recipe turn out for anyone? Mine just seperated.

Where do I find the recipe for the Chocolate Caramallows pictured?
