Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-Ins
- 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift out the fudge once set.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir constantly to ensure the mixture melts smoothly without burning or separating.
- Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the caramel sauce, chopped toasted pecans, vanilla extract, and salt until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Pour into Pan: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness and an attractive finish.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is fully set and firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge slab out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal squares and enjoy this rich, creamy treat.
Notes
- For best results, toast your pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant before chopping.
- You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for a homemade touch.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before eating for a softer texture.
