Remember to calibrate your thermometer before starting!
The temperatures in this recipe are very important. Anything over or under could ruin your fudge.
Make sure to use dark robust maple syrup for this recipe!
If you don’t have evaporated milk, you can use heavy cream.
If you don't have a marble board or a marble work surface, you can use a sheet pan. Just remember that it will take longer for it to cool this way.
If you don't have a bench knife, you can use a spatula to spoon the candy into the mixing bowl.
