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 ½ 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!

  1. Your recipes say I dumped this in a bowl & then I dumped this in & I dumped this ....point is you don't say how much of anything , you just continue on with the steps in the making of the fudge

    1. Hi Sylvia,
      I have never tried it with marshmallow instead of the icing sugar. If you do try it please share how it turns out.
      Thanks,
      Kathleen
