Description

Even if you don’t like buttermilk, you will love this fudge! It’s a unique dish no one else will have at your Christmas potluck. Try this and thank me later for a marvelous new tradition!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • ½ cups Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 Tablespoons Corn Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¾ cups Chopped, Toasted Pecans

Preparation

Combine sugar, buttermilk, butter, soda and corn syrup in a buttered Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches soft ball stage, or a candy thermometer registers 234 degrees. Remove from heat and cool to 180 degrees. Stir in vanilla. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer until candy begins to thicken and lose its gloss. Stir in pecans and pour out onto waxed paper. Cool and cut into 1 inch pieces. Yield: 1 1/4 pounds.

this looks like an easier version of Aunt Bill’s Brown Candy. I’ll have to try it.

I gave this one 5 mitts because the flavor is crazy good. I accidentally left out the soda and got more of a soft caramel than a fudge. I will definitely make this again and hopefully remember to add the soda! It has a great buttery, nutty flavor.
