Ingredients

Scale

Makes about 36 pieces:

  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 cups (350 g) butterscotch chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan:
    • Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cook the sugar mixture:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
  3. Bring to a boil:
    • Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until it reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage).
  4. Add vanilla and butterscotch chips:
    • Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and butterscotch chips. Mix until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Pour into the pan:
    • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle with salt:
    • Lightly sprinkle the top with additional sea salt for a salted finish.
  7. Cool and set:
    • Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until fully set. For faster setting, refrigerate for 1 hour.
  8. Cut and serve:
    • Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality butterscotch chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a decorative touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the fudge before sprinkling with salt.
