Butterscotch Fudge

  • Desserts
Image

Butterscotch takes on a distinct flavor due to the molasses in the brown sugar it is typically made from. Butterscotch and toffee are made from the same ingredients, with the key difference being that butterscotch is done at the soft crack stage of cooking sugar, whereas toffee is cooked to the hard crack stage.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1-2/3 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 package (10 to 11 ounces) butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring

Directions

  1. Line an 8-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, salt and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat; add the marshmallows, chips, nuts and maple flavoring. Stir until marshmallows and chips are melted. Spoon into prepared pan. Let stand until set.
  4. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Discard foil; cut fudge into 1-in squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
