Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan, greasing it lightly with butter or cooking spray and lining with parchment paper.

In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine all fudge ingredients and stir gently over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves.

Allow to come to a gentle boil and monitor the temperature closely, aiming for 235°F.

Once reached, remove from heat and let cool undisturbed until it hits 110°F.

Stir vigorously with a spatula for 5-10 minutes until thickened and color deepens.

Pour the thickened fudge into prepared pan and smooth the top.

Let it set at room temperature for at least 2 hours before cutting.

Lift out using the parchment paper and cut into squares for serving.
