This wickedly delicious and fattening fudge is an ideal recipe to make at this time of the year. Packed in attractive boxes or other imaginative containers, they make great gifts, to indulge your friends and loved ones.
This recipe is very quick and easy – just four ingredients and no sugar thermometers! The sugar might seem excessive, but it’s all good. In the end, the taste is just pure indulgence. I love fudge and making confectionery has also been a passion with me. The aroma of this fudge filled up the entire kitchen.
Since Carnations Caramel is not available here, I made the caramel by immersing the can in water and boiling it for three hours. I made this on the previous day.

I know there are so many amazing fudge recipes without any cooking, but I love making it the old-fashioned way. I did try a peanut butter fudge recipe once which required no cooking and it was delicious. One of these days, I must try out the no-cook fudge recipes and I will be sure to blog them. I hope that you enjoy making this fudge as much as I did. This recipe makes around 20-25 pieces of fudge.
PREP: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 20 minutes
Ingredients
400 gms condensed milk can
100 gms butter
500 gms sugar
2 tsp pumpkin spice
! tsp vanilla essence (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment.
Place the butter, caramelized condensed milk and sugar in a large heavy bottomed pan and heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for about five to ten minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to come away from the sides of the pan and a little dropped into a pan of cold water forms a soft ball. Remove the fudge from the heat and add the spice and vanilla essence (if using) and beat with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until the fudge becomes grainy and starts to set. Pour into the prepared tin and mark into squares when the mixture has cooled slightly. cut into squares when it is completely cold.
Looks great. Sugar 500 gms? Butter has been mentioned twice.
Yes. It’s 500 grams sugar. I updated it. Thank you so much for pointing it out. 🙂
I love your recipes, but can’t have sugar and don’t eat eggs. Talk about visual spreads! 😂
I am really sorry to hear that. Do you suffer from diabetes? Perhaps you might like some of the eggless savoury recipes? There are some vegan ones as well. I do hope you try them out.
Sure will.
Your spiced caramel fudge looks divine! Love the addition of pumpkin spice that you’ve included for the season – it’s a lovely touch to caramel fudge 😊
Thank you so much. Fudge is a weakness of mine. 😀
