A classic butter and brown sugar fudge flavored with maple, cut into 1-inch squares. Store it airtight for gift boxes or a simple sweet.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon plus 1 cup butter divided
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter.
  • Cut the rest of the butter into cubes. In a large saucepan, combine the butter cubes, brown sugar, and evaporated milk. Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring nonstop. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, then take off the heat.
  • Stir in the maple flavoring, vanilla, and salt. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat on medium for about 2 minutes until smooth. Spread quickly into the pan and let cool completely.
  • Lift out with the foil, peel the foil away, and cut into 1-inch squares.
