Twelve Days Of Christmas // Day Three

    Every year, my mom and I get requests to make fudge. From everyone. Friends, family, our doctor, old teachers... this fudge is loved by many. We're just about to start baking for the holidays, so I thought I would share recipe with you!

1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract1/4 cup Irish Cream liqueur *
2 1/4 cup icing sugar, sifted

     Grease an 8-inch square pan and line with parchment paper so that it hangs over the sides. Stir evaporated milk, brown sugar, white sugar, butter and salt in a sauce pot (heavy bottomed is better). Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often, and cook until 238 °F**. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and Irish Cream* and scrape into a bowl or mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer/electric beaters on low add in the icing sugar in three additions, mixing well after each. Scrape the fudge into the pan and let cool completely before slicing! 

    

*Optional, we usually leave it out, but it is very good with it in. 

** Use a candy thermometer to gauge!
