Salted Caramel Fudge Recipe | Only 5 Ingredients Needed To Make It

This caramel fudge is so deliciously sweet, salty, and fudgy. Each bite just melts in your mouth and leaves a decadent caramel flavor that will satisfy your sweet tooth and your tastebuds. Plus, the best part about this fudge recipe is how easy it is to make. All you need is about 15 minutes and 5 ingredients to prepare it!

Ingredients You'll Need

My favorite thing about making this fudge recipe is that just a handful of ingredients are required to make it. And, honestly, I can almost guarantee that you'll have most - if not all - of these ingredients at your house already.

With that said, here’s everything you’ll need to make it:

• 8 ½ Tbsps. Unsalted Butter
• 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Just under 3 cups Light Brown Sugar
• 1 ¾ cups White Chocolate
• Sea Salt

Now, I recommend using white chocolate melts - or chocolate chips - for this recipe. They tend to melt easier than a white chocolate bar broken into chunks. But, as long as you use a good quality white chocolate, you'll be alright.

How to Make Salted Caramel Fudge

I’ve already mentioned a few times that this recipe is super easy to make - because it is! All it takes is about 15 minutes to prepare, and then you just have to wait for the fudge to set.

Oh, also, just so you know from the get-go, this recipe makes enough for 20 pieces of salted caramel fudge. However, if you want more, you can easily double or even triple the recipe if you need to.

Step 1: Prep Work

First, line a baking tray with parchment paper. I used a 10x7 inch, but any size will work to make the fudge!

All the tray sizes do is change the fudge's thickness, so if you want thicker fudge, use a smaller tray. And if you want thinner fudge squares, use a larger one.

Step 2: Mixing and Stirring

Next, add the unsalted butter, condensed milk, and brown sugar into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave this mixture in about 2-4 one-minute intervals. 

After each minute, take the bowl out of the microwave and give the mixture a stir to evenly combine the ingredients. Then, once the ingredients are fully combined - and you have a smooth mixture - you don't have to microwave it anymore. 

Next, add the white chocolate melts (or chocolate chips) to the bowl, and continue stirring until the white chocolate fully melts and combines with the fudge base mixture.

By the way, if you're using a full white chocolate bar, make sure it's chopped into white chocolate chunks.

Anyway, now you'll want to pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle as many sea salt flakes as you want on top.

Step 3: Refrigerating

Ok, so to turn this delicious mixture into fudge, you'll have to give it time to set.

So, to do that, just place the tray in the fridge for about 2 hours or until it firms up. Alternatively, you can also put it in the freezer if you want the fudge ready faster.

Once the homemade fudge is set, you can cut it into small squares and serve them on a serving plate. Enjoy!

How to Store Salted Caramel Fudge

To store the fudge just transfer it to an airtight container and use parchment paper between each layer to keep it from sticking. Stored like this, the fudge will last at room temperature for about around a week. However, if you refrigerate it, the fudge will stay good for 2-3 weeks.

However, if you want to store it for even longer, you can freeze the fudge in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Stored this way, it'll stay good for up to 3 months. Then, whenever you want a piece, just let it thaw before enjoying it.
