Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Flavor & Texture

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling, optional)
  • 3/4 cup toasted pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and lightly toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning and to maximize their nutty flavor.
  2. Melt White Chocolate and Butter: Using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips with the butter, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and glossy, forming the fudge base.
  3. Stir in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Remove the melted mixture from heat and immediately whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, creating a dense, luscious texture.
  4. Fold in Pecans and Caramel Sauce: Carefully fold the toasted pecans into the mixture followed by spoonfuls of caramel sauce. Gently swirl the caramel through the mixture without over-mixing to create a marbled effect.
  5. Transfer and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into an 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set and firm.
  6. Cut and Serve: Lift the set fudge using the parchment edges and cut into small squares with a sharp knife. For clean cuts, warm and dry the knife before slicing.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for a creamier, richer fudge.
  • Toast pecans gently and stir frequently to preserve crunchiness and avoid burning.
  • Do not over-swirl the caramel to keep beautiful caramel ribbons in the fudge.
  • Allow fudge to chill fully before slicing to achieve perfect squares without crumbling.
  • Store fudge in a cool place away from direct sunlight or warm areas to prevent melting or stickiness.
