The Best Maple Fudge Recipe

If you love maple syrup and have white chocolate chips, then you've met all the recipe requirements to make this maple fudge recipe. Yup, it's that easy.

And not only is it one of the easiest fudge recipes you'll ever make, but it's one of the most delicious too. The fudge is so smooth and has a sweet maple flavor that's reminiscent of maple candies.

Now, the number one reason I love this fudge recipe is that it isn't complicated to make. No candy thermometer, double boiler, or sweetened condensed milk is required. Just a bowl and a microwave are all you need to make this stuff.

Seriously, it's so simple and doesn't even use a candy thermometer, just like some of my other fudge recipes like this peanut butter fudge and salted caramel fudge.

Oh, and the best part about this fudge recipe is that you can customize it however you want. Want to make maple walnut fudge or brown sugar maple fudge? It's easy-peasy to customize this recipe and make those using this as the base!

With that said, I'll be sure to list a couple of simple tips for making fudge your way down below.

Anyway, now let's get into the ingredients you need to make this maple fudge.

Ingredients

Just in case you missed it - there are just two main ingredients required for this recipe - the third is optional, but it does enhance the flavors if you choose to use it.

Here's what you need to make this maple fudge recipe:

• 250g White Chocolate
• ¼ cup Maple Syrup
• A pinch of sea salt (optional)

See what I mean by easy?

Honestly, as far as easy fudge recipes go, this maple fudge recipe has to be one of the easiest.

By the way, feel free to use white chocolate chips, melting chocolate wafers, or bars.

As for the maple syrup, I recommend using pure maple syrup. Doing so will give you the true maple flavor that you want to use real maple syrup in this homemade fudge recipe. But with that said, pancake syrup will work great too.

Oh, and speaking of maple syrup, if you love it as I do, you have to give this sweet potato pound cake and million dollar bacon a try next. Both of them use maple syrup to add a little extra flavor to the already delicious recipes.

Different Variations Of This Maple Fudge

As I mentioned above, there is an endless number of ways to modify this recipe, so each time you make it, it never gets boring.

Here are some of my favorite ways to change it up:

• Stir in ½ cup of walnuts for maple walnut fudge.
• Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
• Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to compliment the maple flavor.
• Swap white chocolate for dark chocolate to make dark chocolate maple fudge.
• Add crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows on top of the fudge for some maple s'mores vibes.
• Add Eggo waffle cereal on top for the ultimate breakfast-inspired maple syrup fudge.

Now, if you have your ingredients ready, let's get to making this yummy fudge.

How To Make This Maple Fudge Recipe

So, this recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make, but allot a couple of hours for the fudge to set in the refrigerator.

Also, just so you know, this recipe for maple fudge will make about 8 squares of fudge, so double or triple the ingredients if you want to make more than that. You'll especially want to make more if you're serving it at a holiday party.

Step 1: Melt The White Chocolate

First, you're going to prepare a baking dish - or loaf pan - by lining it with parchment paper. Also, be sure to let it line the wall of the pan so that when it comes time to remove the fudge, you can lift it out by the paper. Anyway, set the prepared pan aside for later.

Next, add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for about 1 minute, and give it a stir. Then, microwave it in 30-second increments and stir between each one until it is fully melted.

Once it's melted, stir in the pure maple syrup (or pancake syrup) and mix with a spatula until well combined.

If you're making maple walnut fudge, add the walnuts now along with the maple syrup. Alternatively, you can sprinkle them on top in the next step for another version of maple walnut fudge. Either way will add a wonderful flavor to the already delicious fudge.

Step 2: Pour and Refrigerate The Fudge

Next, pour the smooth mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle with sea salt on top if you want.

Then, place the homemade fudge in the refrigerator and leave it to set. About 2 hours should do the trick, but the longer you leave it in the fridge, the firmer it will be.

Step 3: Slice and Serve

Once your maple chocolate fudge is good and firm, go ahead and remove the fudge from the pan by gripping the parchment paper and lifting it.

Then, put the fudge on a cutting board, into chunks or squares, serve and enjoy!

How To Store Maple Fudge

As good as this recipe is, don't feel like you have to eat it all in one sitting. This recipe for maple fudge also happens to taste just as good - or even better - the day/s after you make it.

So, to store your leftover fudge, you'll want to keep it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Stored like this, it will stay good for up to 2 weeks.

Alternatively, you can freeze fudge for up to 6 months! Then, whenever you want a square, just let it thaw for a few minutes and enjoy.
