Brown Sugar Fudge Frosting Recipes

BROWN SUGAR FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8-inch pan.
• Bring brown sugar, evaporated milk, and butter to a boil in a large saucepan; boil mixture for exactly 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add confectioners' sugar. Beat fudge with an electric mixer on medium speed for exactly 5 minutes. Stir in walnuts. Spread fudge into the prepared pan and let cool before cutting into squares.

BROWN SUGAR FUDGE, THE OLD FASHIONED WAY

Steps:

• Lightly grease an 8x8 inch pan and line it with parchment paper. (The size is important, see note)
• In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter slowly over medium low heat.
• Add the white sugar, brown sugar and evaporated milk. Increase heat to medium.
• Bring to a gentle gentle, constant boil.
• Cook until the mixture reaches between 236 and 238 degrees F. Stir only very occasionally, perhaps just a couple of times. Over-stirring can cause crystallization of the sugar and your fudge will seize.
• As soon as the mixture hits the correct temperature, remove the pan from the heat.
• Quickly but gently stir in the vanilla extract.
• Allow this mixture to remain at room temperature until lukewarm. Do NOT try to speed this process up by placing in the fridge or freezer.
• When cooled to lukewarm, beat the fudge mixture with a wooden spoon until it loses its glossy appearance and begins to thicken more.
• Stir in the nuts at this point if you are adding them.
• Pour evenly into the prepared pan.
• Leave for several hours to set until firm.
• Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and transfer it to a cutting board.
• Cut into 64 one inch squares, or larger if you prefer.
• Store in an airtight container. I do like to refrigerate mine once it is cooled completely and cut.
• If freezing fudge, cut the batch into 4 equal squares, and wrap each one tightly with plastic wrap before placing in an airtight container to freeze. This will allow you to take out one or two of the larger pieces and then cut them into portions as needed.

BEST-EVER BROWN SUGAR ICING

Steps:

• In a deep, large kettle melt the butter over high heat until it just starts to boil.
• Add the brown sugar.
• Bring to a boil and lower heat to medium and continue to boil for 2 minutes.
• Don't boil longer than two minutes and stir constantly while it is boiling.
• Add the milk and splash of vanilla and return to a boil, stirring constantly.
• As soon as it begins to boil, remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
• Gradually add confectioners' sugar.
• Stir with a wooden spoon until thick and spreadable.

OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt, and stir or whisk to mix everything well.
• Add the butter and place over medium heat, stirring to melt the butter and mix everything together into a smooth, brown sauce.
• Add the milk, stir well, and bring the frosting to a boil, stirring often and adjust the heat to maintain an active but gentle boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
• When the frosting begins to thicken, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla and set it aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
• Beat the frosting just until it thickens and looks shiny, and then spread it over the cake or the layers you want to ice.
