Combine the brown sugar, evaporated milk, salt and corn syrup in a medium size saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Stir occasionally.

Once the sugar is dissolved bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to bubble up for a couple of minutes, but do not scorch it. Now reduce to a soft boil by reducing the heat to a medium-low heat. Let it bubble for few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add butter to the pan, but do NOT stir yet.

Let the butter rest int he mixture without stirring until a candy thermometer reaches 110 degrees. Once it reaches that temperature you can remove the saucepan from the heat.

Stir in vanilla and spices. Mix by hand with a wooden spoon.

Beat the fudge with a wooden spoon until it loses it's gloss, but not so much that it hardens yet. You want it a bit pliable to pour into silicone gingerbread mold.

Pour into the silicone mold carefully. It's okay if the men are imperfect. Aren't all men? *holiday giggles*

Pop you mold in the fridge until the fudge sets up. It should be in there at least an hour, up to about 4 hours.

Remove the men from the pan. Place on a platter, or start biting their heads off right away.

Serve with a big old gingerbread loving smile!
