Maple Walnut Fudge is a creamy fudge with just the right amount of maple flavor and nutty crunch from toasted walnuts. Try my Original Fantasy Fudge for another nutty fudge recipe.
Maple Walnut Fudge
With the holidays upon us, it’s that time of year to make as many sweets as possible to share! Fudge seems to be a hit at most holiday gatherings or potlucks. I am surprised that National Fudge Day is in June, but I will indulge in it year-round if I must.
Maple Walnut Fudge Ingredients
Toasted Walnuts: Toasting walnuts is not necessary, but I do recommend it. The toasted nuts add flavor and crunch to this fudge. (If you don’t toast the walnuts, be sure to warm them up before adding them to the fudge mixture.) The nuts can be toasted on the stovetop with a little bit of oil. You could also toast them in the oven. To toast nuts in the oven, place the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet (lined or unlined). Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don’t burn.
Challenge Butter: I opted for Challenge Butter for this recipe. Challenge Butter is made the old-fashioned way, churned fresh daily from the freshest milk and cream from happy cows at family-owned dairies since 1911
