Now, you can either pop your fudge into the refrigerator to chill or leave it to set at room temperature.It should take around 2 hours but I tend to leave this overnight.See’s Vanilla Walnut Fudge is the best creamy vanilla fudge recipe for the holidays! Skip the mall and make this easy, spot-on copycat See’s fudge instead.At this stage, you want to add your mix to your square baking tin and smooth it out to cover all the edges.I like to use the back of the spoon as best I can to achieve a smooth surface on top.Then, you want to put in some real arm work and mix, mix, mix with your spatula or wooden spoon until the mix really thickens and loses its sheen.It will begin to look matte and resemble what you would consider fudge at this stage.Remove your pan from the heat and allow the mix to cool for around 5 minutes.It should begin to form a skin in that time.Use a baking thermometer to check the readiness of your fudge, you are looking for this to reach approximately 115☌.For those of you (myself included) that do not have a baking thermometer to measure the temperature, we are instead going to check for the soft ball stage.So, grab a glass or bowl of cold water and after around 10-15 minutes of boiling, let some of the mixture drop into your water.If when you remove it from the water, you can form a soft ball with your fingers, you are done!.
