SUGAR FREE MAPLE FUDGE

Steps:

• Prepare a baking dish for nonstick. I like parchment paper that overhangs the dish. Butter is another option.
• Use a whisk or sifter to sift the sugar free powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl (whisk attachment can work on low speed).
• To make this recipe on a stove top: simply heat the ingredients in a saucepan on low heat, stirring constantly. When the ingredients appear to be combined and there are no clumps, transfer the fudge to your prepared baking dish. Refrigerate for at least two and a half hours or until firm before cutting into squares.
• Make this recipe in a microwave- place the ingredient in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on full power, stirring every thirty seconds, until until smooth and combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and refrigerate until firm.
• Note- if you are adding nuts, the should be stirred in after the heating process and before the transfer to the baking dish. Also, substituted ingredients can alter the heating and firming steps. Lastly, when adding the liquid ingredients, start with the smallest amount and add additional as needed for consistency (you may need more or less milk depending on the consistency of your fudge).
