Ingredients

1 c. 2 sticks unsalted butter
2 c. brown sugar
3 c. powdered sugar sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 5 ounces can evaporated milk
1 c. pecans or walnuts roughly chopped
non-stick spray as needed
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Using a non-stick spray, grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Then, line the greased pan using parchment paper or plastic wrap.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk the butter and brown sugar for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Add the evaporated milk, then bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool for about 30 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well. Next, beat in the powdered sugar in batches.
After the sugar has all been blended, fold in the chopped nuts.
Into the prepared loaf dish, transfer the mixture.
Place in the fridge for about 20 to 25 minutes, uncovered until set. For best results, refrigerate the penuche fudge until firm, approximately 2 to 3 hours. This longer chilling time ensures the fudge reaches the perfect consistency for cutting into neat squares. Once it's fully set, you'll notice a firm texture that's easy to slice, providing clean edges and a satisfying bite.
Once set, slice the Penuche and serve.
