- Add Vanilla and Salt:
- Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. These ingredients will enhance the flavor of the fudge.
- Add Nuts (Optional):
- If you’re using nuts, fold them into the fudge mixture until they are evenly distributed.
- Pour into Pan:
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Cool and Set:
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until it’s completely set. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Cut into Squares:
- Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or rectangles of your desired size.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your homemade old-fashioned fudge and enjoy this rich and indulgent treat. Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Old-fashioned fudge is a timeless and delicious dessert that’s perfect for holidays, special occasions, or just when you’re craving something sweet. It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
