Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (247g) maple syrup, reduced to 1/2 cup or a little less (about 140-150g)
- 1 ½ cups (297g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (161g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup (160g) evaporated milk
- 2 tbsp (40g) corn syrup
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips
- 7 oz marshmallow creme
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups (about 155g) whole walnuts, toasted
Instructions
- Toast the walnuts: preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate to cool and chop into 1 cup and ½ cup portions, or use raw walnuts if preferred.
- Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch square pan with aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the maple syrup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until reduced to about ½ cup. Check the volume using a measuring cup. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and the reduced maple syrup. Stir constantly until the sugar melts, then occasionally until it reaches a full boil.
- Let the mixture boil without stirring for 4 to 8 minutes, or when an instant-read thermometer reads 236 to 238ºF. Ensure the thermometer does not touch the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat, then stir in white chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, and salt until smooth and fully melted.
- Add 1 cup of toasted walnuts, mixing until evenly distributed in the fudge.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, sprinkling the remaining ½ cup of walnuts on top.
- Allow the fudge to cool and set for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight for easier cutting.
Notes
Ensure to monitor the maple syrup as it reduces to prevent overflow during cooking.
For a more intense flavor, allow the fudge to set overnight before cutting into pieces.
