This fudge is inspired by a family recipe from our kitchen director, Kareen. She used salty roasted peanuts to balance the sweetness of the fudge. Allergies? Skip the peanuts.

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup (115 g) crushed salted peanuts
- 1 1/2 cups (315 g) lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup (210 g) sugar
- 1/4 cup (55 g) butter
- 1 cup (250 ml) 35% heavy cream

Preparation

- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Butter and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square dish with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over two sides.
- Scatter the peanuts on the baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes in the oven. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a pot over medium-high heat, bring all the ingredients, except the peanuts, to a boil. Continue boiling without stirring until the mixture reaches 241°F (116°C). Remove from the heat and let rest for 30 minutes without stirring.
- Add the peanuts. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until the mixture thickens and lightens in colour, about 5 minutes. Quickly pour into the dish and smooth the surface. Let cool completely. Unmould and cut into 1-inch pieces. The fudge will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
