Preparation

Step 1

1. Grease a 11x7x1.5’ pan.

2. In a medium saucepan combine butter, milk, sweetened condensed milk and sugar and bring to a boil.

3. When fudge reaches 115 degrees C on a candy thermometer begin to stir fudge constantly for the next 15 minutes until fudge reaches the soft ball stage. (to test fudge is ready drop a little mixture in to a glass of ice water and it should form a soft fudge ball when ready).

4. Remove from heat and begin to beat by hand. Add vanilla and continue to beat for about 5 minutes or until mixture becomes fudge like.

5. Quickly pour in to prepared pan. Mark pieces with a knife after about one hour and cut when set after 2 hours total.

6. Store in a dry air tight container (best not refrigerated).
