Brown Sugar Fudge & Pro Bars

Fudge  . . . What could be better?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Here’s the Brown Sugar Fudge . . .

It’s creamy and addictive delicious.

Good for you?

Well maybe not, but I certainly can’t stay out of it.

It tastes very similar to Boston Creams or Penuche.

Let me show you where I found this recipe.

The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook

I love this book.

 It’s a funny read  . . . a grand book!

Pages highlighted & marked = make this now.

BROWN SUGAR FUDGE

  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces (optional)
  • special equipment:  candy thermometer

Directions:

Butter an 8 by 8 by 2 inch baking pan.

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, and salt and heat over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.  Insert a candy thermometer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 238 degrees F.

Add the butter and stir until melted and fully incorporated, then remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture stand, WITHOUT stirring, until it cools to lukewarm ( about 120 degrees F)

Add the vanilla to the fudge and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.  If desired, fold in the nuts.  Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and let cool to room temperature.

Once the fudge has set, cut it into squares.  Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

    I would love to try out the original Pro Bars. We’re always on the lookout for a healthy snack bar that my husband will eat – something deliciously fruity and not too sweet.

    I love your blog and frequently come browse for recipes. Right now I’m on the lookout for “cool summer meals” because when it’s hot I don’t feel like heating up the house by cooking a warm dinner. Any ideas? Also – we have a new baby, so quick, easy dinner ideas are always welcome, too!ReplyCancel

    Hi! I would love it if you would post a recipe for crab cakes or deep fried scallops. There is a restaurant in Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island called The Crazy Crab that makes both. They are so absolutely mouth watering, melt in your mouth delicious. I have tried many recipe’s with many modifications and just can’t seem to get them right!

    Those Halo bars look delicious! I would love to win any of them that don’t have peanuts or apple products. Those are lethal allergies around here. (weird, I know). So many companies have started using apple juice as a sweetener and then we can’t eat them! Give me good ole’ sugar any day.

    I love your main dishes because I’m always looking for new dinner ideas. Our fav recipe of yours is your teriyaki chicken bowls. Yum! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world! 🙂ReplyCancel

    Jonna, I love that you share your time and recipes with us. I’m curious were you found the recipe book.

    Hi Nancy,
    I found the book at Barnes & Noble. It’s a great one!

    I followed the recipe to a T and got very sugary fudge–as in sugary/grainy. Any suggestions? It still tasted okay, but the texture was not smooth at all.

    Hi Jennifer,

    Gosh….that has happened to me before when making fudge.
    Make sure that if you try it again, you do not touch or stir the mixture until it’s cooled as the recipe directions state.
    Also, don’t scrape the sides of your pan.

    If I see sugar crystals forming on the sides of my pan, I take a pastry brush and very hot water and melt the sugar away.
    Also, make sure that you are using a good HEAVY large pot….I love the cast iron Porcelain Martha Stewart pots….they are well work the money.
    Macy’s always has great sales on them. They will last forever!!!

    Good luck,
    JonnaReplyCancel
