Easy Butterscotch Fudge Recipe

Yields: 16 pieces of fudge
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: none
Additional time: 4-6 hours

Ingredients:
2 cups butterscotch chips
8 oz white almond bark
1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon maple extract
1 cup walnuts (divided)
Sea salt to garnish

Recipe:
Prepare a 9×9” or 8×8” square pan with parchment paper.
Using a double boiler, combine the butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, white almond bark, butter, and salt together over medium heat.
Stir regularly until almost melted and then stir continuously until completely melted.
Remove the fudge from the heat and stir in the maple extract.
Add half of the walnuts to the batter and mix well.
Pour the fudge batter into the prepared pan and then press the remaining walnuts on the top.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
Once the fudge is completely set, garnish with sea salt (optional) before or after cutting the fudge into 16 pieces.

Notes:
● This is a smooth and creamy fudge recipe.
● You can use vanilla extract instead of maple extract if needed.
● Sea salt will enhance the flavor of the fudge, but there is also salt in the fudge recipe so you can skip this step if you want. I like to add it and I love the look of sea salt on top.
● Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks or in the refrigerator. Fudge can also be frozen.

Can I use vanilla extract instead of maple extract?

Yes, you can!

I prefer using maple extract – it add so much flavor that goes really well with the Butterscotch! But you can also use vanilla extract if you don’t have maple on hand.
