Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk) for coating or mixing
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Caramel Base: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides, approximately 10-12 minutes. This creates the rich caramel foundation for your fudge.
  2. Add Flavor Enhancers: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. This adds depth and balance to your caramel fudge, preparing it for shaping.
  3. Cool and Chill: Pour the caramel mixture onto a parchment-lined tray and spread it evenly. Sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top for that signature salted touch. Allow it to cool to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 2 hours until firm.
  4. Shape Into Truffles: Once chilled and firm, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out bite-sized portions. Quickly roll each portion between your palms to create smooth, round truffles.
  5. Optional Coating or Garnishing: If desired, dip each truffle into melted chocolate or roll them in finely chopped nuts for an added layer of flavor and texture. Place them back on the parchment to set.

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Stir constantly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth fudge consistency.
  • Test the fudge readiness by dropping a small spoonful into cold water; if it holds shape, it is ready.
  • Chill thoroughly to make shaping easier.
  • Store truffles in airtight containers to maintain freshness and texture.
