🍁 Creamy Maple Fudge Recipe (Old-Fashioned Canadian Treat)

This creamy maple fudge recipe melts in your mouth! Made with real maple syrup, butter, and cream — a classic Canadian sweet for holidays or gifts.

🕒 Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Cook time: 20 minutes
  • Cooling time: 2 hours
  • Total time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Serves: 24 small squares

🧂 Ingredients

  • 1 cup pure maple syrup (Grade A or B)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

  1. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
  2. Set aside while preparing the fudge mixture.

Step 2: Cook the Fudge Base

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, cream, and salt.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Attach a candy thermometer and cook until the mixture reaches 236°F (soft ball stage).

Step 3: Cool and Beat

  1. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract (do not mix too much yet).
  2. Let the mixture cool to about 110°F without stirring — about 10–15 minutes.
  3. Once cooled slightly, beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for 5–8 minutes until it thickens and loses its gloss.

Step 4: Set the Fudge

  1. Quickly pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  2. Let cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  3. Cut into small squares and store in an airtight container.

🍬 Storage Tips

  • Store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Refrigerate for longer freshness (up to 2 weeks).
  • For gifting, wrap in parchment or cellophane and store in a cool place.

❓ FAQs About Maple Fudge

Q1: Can I make maple fudge without a candy thermometer?
A1: Yes! Drop a small bit into cold water — if it forms a soft ball, it’s ready.

Q2: Can I add nuts to my maple fudge?
A2: Absolutely! Stir in ½ cup of toasted walnuts or pecans before pouring into the pan.

Q3: Why did my fudge turn grainy?
A3: Overmixing before it cools or sugar crystals on the pan can cause graininess. Use a clean pastry brush to wipe sugar crystals off sides during boiling.

Q4: Can I use imitation maple syrup?
A4: Real maple syrup is best! Artificial syrup changes the texture and flavor.

Q5: How do I make vegan maple fudge?
A5: Replace cream with coconut cream and butter with vegan margarine — delicious and dairy-free!

🍁 Tips for Perfect Maple Fudge

  • Use Grade A dark maple syrup for deep flavor.
  • Beat only after cooling — too soon, and the fudge will stay soft.
  • For smooth texture, avoid scraping crystallized sugar from the pan.
