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, ensuring there is an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once it’s set.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly to gently melt the chocolate and create a smooth mixture, preventing it from scorching.
- Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the caramel sauce, chopped toasted pecans, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour into Pan: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread and smooth the surface evenly. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness and visual appeal.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty aroma.
- Use good-quality caramel sauce for the best taste and texture.
- If you prefer a softer fudge, reduce the chilling time slightly.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow the fudge to sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving for easier cutting and creamier texture.
