Banana Fudge

Banana Fudge is a smooth, sweet dessert square.  This flavourful candy treat is reminiscent of the marshmallow banana candies I used to eat as a child.

No thermometer is necessary when making this easy fudge recipe.

All you need to do is boil it for 5 minutes, add a couple ingredients and then just let it harden for a couple of hours.

Banana Fudge yields between 36 and 42 servings, but of course this will vary depending on your personal slicing preferences.

Enjoy every bite of this melt in your mouth dessert square.

Before starting to cook the Banana Fudge I greased an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.

Then I placed a medium sized sauce pan on the stove, added a half pound of butter and turned the heat to medium.

Next I measured in some evaporated milk and brown sugar.

I occasionally stirred these ingredients together until the butter had melted.  Once the butter melted I stirred it continuously until it started to bubble.

When it started to bubble I stopped stirring and allowed it to boil for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes I removed the fudge from the heat and poured it into a large Pyrex measuring cup.

Then I poured in some banana extract and gave a quick stir.

Adding the banana extract to the hot liquid.

Next I gradually added in 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar while I continued stirring.

I stopped stirring once the icing sugar was fully integrated into the fudge.  Crush as many icing sugar lumps as you can if you have not sifted it first.

I scraped the hot fudge into a greased 8 x 8 inch baking pan and allowed it to cool and harden for a couple of hours.

Once the fudge was hard I inverted it onto a cutting board. 

I flipped it again before cutting it into squares with a sharp knife.

This extra sweet fudge will remind you of those marshmallow banana candies from your childhood.  I know my Grandmother loved them even as an adult.

Banana Fudge is a smooth, creamy dessert that will melt in your mouth.

 It will be hard to eat just one piece!
