Maple Walnut Fudge Recipe

American · Dessert · 20 min total

A creamy, melt-in-your-mouth fudge with the rich flavor of maple syrup and crunchy walnuts. This easy no-bake recipe is perfect for holiday gifting or a sweet treat.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions

1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, heavy cream, maple syrup, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter melts and sugar dissolves.
3. Bring mixture to a boil, then attach a candy thermometer. Continue cooking without stirring until temperature reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage), about 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let cool without stirring for 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until fudge thickens and loses its gloss, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Quickly fold in chopped walnuts, then spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Let cool at room temperature for 2 hours until set.
6. Lift fudge from pan using parchment overhang, cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips

• For best results, use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup.
• Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
• Fudge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; bring to room temperature before serving.
