Intro
Penuche fudge is a creamy, old-fashioned fudge made with brown sugar instead of chocolate, which gives it a deep caramel flavor that many people say tastes a little like maple. This version is the easiest you’ll find: there’s no candy thermometer, no soft-ball stage and no guesswork.
You melt butter and brown sugar, bring it to a quick boil with evaporated milk, beat in powdered sugar and fold in toasted nuts. About 20 minutes of active work and a short chill later, you have a pan of rich, melt-in-your-mouth squares that are perfect for holiday trays, cookie swaps and homemade gifts.
