Calories: 204kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups toasted pecans + 2 Tbsp.
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks + 2 Tbsp.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1-1/8 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Toast the two cups of pecans with two tablespoons of butter for five minutes and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, add the two sticks of butter and melt on medium-high heat.
- After the butter melts, add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and mix well.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, salt, and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Keep the temperature on medium-high OR turn to high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. (If your fudge boils on medium-high heat keep it on that. If it doesn't, turn your heat to high to boil the fudge).
- Once the mixture starts to boil, start the timer for four minutes. Stir occasionally while it cooks.
- When the timer reaches four minutes, take the fudge off of the burner, add the powdered sugar, and mix well.
- Finally, add the two cups of chopped pecans and stir.
- Pour the fudge into a baking pan, sprinkle the two tablespoons of chopped pecans on top, and allow it to set up for at least three hours.
- Slice the fudge into little squares.

Notes
Some stovetops don't run as hot, so you might need to turn the burner to the high temperature to get the fudge to boil. Once you see it boiling, start the timer.
