    Recently, my mother-in-law visited from Canada to help celebrate the twins' birthday. The kids were so thrilled to have their grandmother here, and I couldn't let her go without getting her to share one of her most favorite recipes for Sucre à la Crème. Sucre à la Crème is a traditional French Canadian recipe similar to fudge though the texture is more grainy and it melts in your mouth. It is incredibly sweet and decadent and just a small tray will last you for quite some time as you can't eat a lot at once (unless you are my husband). For more sweet treats, check out our Football Brownie Truffles.

    • Translated, it means sugar with cream. Hello? So much yum!

    • A little goes a long way because it is so sweet

    Ingredients

    To make this yummy Canadian fudge, you'll need white sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla and butter. I dare you not to make something delicious with those ingredients.

    My daughter works her muscles while stirring the mixture.

    After the sugars and cream are combined, microwave for four minutes. Remove from microwave and stir, then microwave again for another four minutes.

    This is a very sweet treat, so you will want to cut it in small squares. Keep the Sucre à la Crème refrigerated.
