Ingredients

• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 300 grams Caster sugar
• 75 grams Manx honey
• 125 milliliters Whole milk
• 200 grams Condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Grease a square 20cm baking tin and line it with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the unsalted butter, caster sugar, Manx honey, whole milk, and condensed milk.

Step 3

Turn the heat to low and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat slightly to keep it at a low simmer.

Step 5

Continue to stir constantly to prevent sticking or burning, scraping the bottom of the pan regularly. After 20-25 minutes, the mixture will thicken and turn a deep golden caramel color.

Step 6

To check if the fudge is ready, drop a small amount into a cup of cold water. It should form a firm, pliable ball. If it’s too soft, keep cooking and testing every 2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and level the surface using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set fully.

Step 10

Once set, lift the fudge out of the tin using the parchment overhang and cut it into small squares using a sharp knife.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
