Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Topping
- ½ cup room temperature caramel sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized microwave-safe glass bowl, add the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 90 seconds to begin melting the chocolate.
- Stir and Heat Further: Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients. Heat again in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, up to two more times if needed, until mostly smooth but with a few small unmelted chocolate flecks remaining.
- Add Flavor and Nuts: Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
- Shape the Fudge: Pour the fudge onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to about 1-inch thickness.
- Add Caramel Swirl: Drizzle the room temperature caramel sauce over the fudge. Lightly swirl the caramel into the fudge using a knife or the end of the spatula to create a marbled pattern.
- Chill: Place the fudge in the refrigerator and chill until firm and ready to serve, usually a few hours.
- Serve and Store: Slice the chilled fudge into 1-inch squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the caramel sauce is at room temperature to make swirling easier.
- You can toast the pecans before adding for extra crunch and a deeper flavor.
- Store fudge in the refrigerator to keep it firm and prevent melting.
- Chilling time may vary; allow at least 2-3 hours for best results.
