Key Ingredients You’ll Need

How To Make Pecan Fudge
Step 1. Add the butter to a saucepan and brown over medium heat for 7-8 minutes until light brown. Stir the butter constantly until the milk pieces fall to the base of the pan and become toasted. Add the browned butter, white chocolate chips, white almond bark, and condensed milk into a double boiler and combine constantly over medium heat until smooth.
Step 2. Take away from the heat and mix in 1 1/4 cups of cinnamon sugar pecans and vanilla. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper before pouring the prepared mixture into it. Use a spatula to smooth the mixture evenly before adding the remaining candied pecans on top. Allow the fudge to rest for 6-8 hours at room temperature or 2-4 hours in the fridge. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Can I Candy Other Nuts Besides Pecans?
If you decide you want to try another type of nut for this fudge or you just don’t have pecans on hand, you can absolutely candy another kind of nut besides pecans. The best option next in line would be walnuts, but you can use peanuts, pistachios, cashews, etc. You could also use a mixture of nuts by using this candied nuts recipe.
Tips & Tricks
- To add a little more flavor, I like to add some pumpkin spice to the candied pecans for a more Fall flavor.
- This fudge would make a great goodie bag gift or treat for the Holidays.
- If you have more nuts than you need for this recipe. Place them into an airtight container for the best storage method. You can store them in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
