HOMEMADE VANILLA FUDGE FULL
Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. In large saucepan, combine sugar, butter and evaporated milk cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. You can also use vanilla bean paste if you don’t want to scrape vanilla beans (because when you have long fingernails like me, it’s a little tricky sometimes).1. Line 9-inch square or 13x9-inch pan with foil so foil extends over sides of pan butter foil. I usually go for the Madagascar Bourbon, but you can choose any bean you want based on the descriptions.

I know this recipe can be made all year round, but I always think of fudge the most around Christmas. Not only does homemade extract make a great Christmas gift, so does a box of this fudge. Then I got the idea to make this Vanilla Bean Fudge, especially since yesterday I talked about making homemade vanilla extract. I still remember the first time I made vanilla bean ice cream – I couldn’t believe that’s how good vanilla tasted! Why are companies making vanilla seem so tasteless? Now I want to “vanilla bean all the things.” I started with my Baked Vanilla Bean Doughnuts, which were a huge hit (both online and in person). I’m talking about REAL vanilla made from vanilla beans.

I’m not talking about those bright white soft serve ice cream cones you got from the ice cream stand growing up where almost nobody on your softball team ordered vanilla. I think vanilla is becoming my new favorite flavor. Who knew that vanilla could taste this good? This melt-in-your-mouth easy vanilla fudge recipe made with vanilla beans will quickly become your new favorite fudge flavor.
