Vanilla and Walnut Fudge

One of my favourite sweet treats!

Ingredients

Oil for greasing the tin
300ml milk
350g caster sugar
100g butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
75g crushed walnuts

Grease an approximately 18cm cake tin and set aside.

In a pan add the milk, sugar and butter. Slowly heat until the butter has melted and sugar has dissolved (stirring all the time).

Bring to the boil for 15-20 minutes stirring all the time.


Remove from heat once the mixture has reached the soft-ball stage. (This means you can drop a little drop of the mixture into cold water and it will form a ball or a solid straight away).
Add the walnuts and stir in the vanilla extract then leave to cool for 3 minutes.

Beat the mixture with a spoon until mixture thickens and gloss disappears. ( You don't need to put this in the fridge, infact it works better if you let it stand at room temperature).

Once it is set, cut them into squares!

And Enjoy! :)
