  Penuche Fudge

  INGREDIENTS

  1½ cups powdered sugar

  ⅔ cup evaporated milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk)

  1¾ cups brown sugar (packed)

  10 Tablespoons butter, room temperature

  ¼ teaspoon salt

  1½ teaspoons vanilla

  DIRECTIONS

  Use a 9" square pan; spray with nonstick spray cooking spray; line with plastic wrap.

  In a heavy saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, salt, and evaporated milk; use a long-handled wooden spoon to continuously stir until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.

  Once it begins to boil, turn heat to medium-low allowing the mixture to simmer; stir frequently for 25 minutes until the fudge forms into a soft ball.

  Remove the pot from the stove and place the mixture into a mixing bowl.

  Beat in the powdered sugar, a little at a time, until smooth.

  Beat in the vanilla.

  Pour mixture into the prepared pan.

  Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top.

  Place in the refrigerator uncovered to cool for about 20 - 25 minutes, or until the fudge is firm.

  Turn the fudge out of the pan and peel off the plastic.

  Cut the fudge into small squares.
