This is an old-fashioned brown-sugar fudge that my mother made every Christmas. It was only one of her famous “Christmas Candies,” but it was my favorite. It’s not a shortcut, easy-does-it recipe, but it’s worth the effort.

How To Make penucci--brown sugar fudge

Step 1

Combine milk, sugars, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan. Cook slowly to a soft ball stage (or use a candy thermometer.)

Step 2

Remove from the heat. Add butter and beat until it begins to thicken. (I usually let it cool awhile AFTER I add the butter before I begin to beat it. Otherwise, you’re just making your arm tired for nothing.)
Step 3

Add vanilla. Continue beating until almost set. Add nuts.
Step 4

Pour into greased pan and refrigerate until hard. Cut into squares.
