Soft Peanut Caramel Fudge 🍯🥜✨
This Soft Peanut Caramel Fudge is a dangerously delicious treat — creamy, buttery, and filled with roasted peanuts for a perfect balance of smooth and crunchy. It’s the kind of sweet that disappears from the tray before it even cools!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) light corn syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup roasted peanuts (salted or unsalted)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line a square baking dish (8×8 inch) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, condensed milk, and corn syrup.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a thick caramel consistency (about 10–12 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, salt, and roasted peanuts.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
- Let cool at room temperature for 1–2 hours or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Once firm, cut into small squares and enjoy!
Tips & Hints
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before it sets.
- Keep in an airtight container for up to a week — if it lasts that long!
- You can replace peanuts with almonds, cashews, or hazelnuts for a twist.
Pro Tip: Warm slightly before serving for that melt-in-your-mouth caramel texture 😋
