Maple Fudge

This fudge is just divine.  It might be easy to eat the whole pan without even thinking about it so it's one of those recipes to share. :)  I used fat-free evaporated milk (which is just made with skim milk) and it worked great.  Nothing better than healthy fudge!  haha.

Maple Fudge

1 C butter, cubed
2 C packed brown sugar
1 can (5oz) evaporated milk
1 tsp maple flavoring (such as Mapleine)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
2 C powdered sugar

Line an 8-in square pan with foil; spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and milk.  Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat.

Stir in maple flavoring, vanilla and salt.  Add powdered sugar; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes or until smooth.  Immediately spread into prepared pan.  Cool completely.

Using foil, lift fudge out of pan.  Remove foil; cut** into small squares.  Store in an airtight container.

Yield: 1 3/4 pounds

**It's easiest to use a really long knife and make one cut straight down otherwise the fudge will crumble into non-square but still delicious pieces.
