Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 1 cup Hershey's syrup
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of Hershey's syrup, 1/2 cup of butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of chopped almonds, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Ensure that your butter is softened for easier mixing.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of butter over low heat. Stir continuously to prevent it from burning.
- Once the butter is melted, add the 1 cup of Hershey's syrup to the saucepan. Mix well until fully combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and syrup mixture with 2 cups of powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until incorporated.
- Fold in the 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of chopped almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 20 minutes, or until it is set and firm to the touch.
- Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 16 squares.
- Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer freshness. Enjoy your delicious Hershey's White Chips Almond Fudge!
