Ingredients
Fudge Base
- 3½ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 ounces lime Jell-o powder
- 1½ cups milk
- ½ cup butter
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place sugar, baking soda, lime Jell-o powder, and milk into a large saucepan (preferably larger than 4 quarts to prevent overflow).
- Cook Mixture: Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and scorching, until the mixture reaches 234℉. Be cautious as the hot mixture will become foamy during cooking.
- Add Butter and Beat: Remove the saucepan from heat once the temperature is reached. Pour the hot mixture into a bowl and add the butter. Beat until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into a greased and lined 8-inch square pan. Chill the fudge in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Serve and Store: Cut the firm fudge into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use a candy thermometer to precisely reach the correct temperature of 234℉ for perfect texture.
- Stir continuously to avoid burning the sugar mixture.
- Ensure the pan is well greased and lined with parchment paper to easily remove fudge.
- Fudge can be stored at room temperature or frozen to extend shelf life.
