How to Make

Step 2: When your chocolate is all melted you will pour in your vanilla, and pecans and stir until combined. You need to work fast at this. Now spread out into your pan that is lined with parchment paper.

Tips & Tricks

Don’t overheat the chocolate: Microwave the chocolate in short intervals and stir thoroughly in between to avoid burning or seizing.
Use quality caramel sauce: A thick, rich caramel sauce works best for swirling into the fudge. If it’s too thin, it might not set as nicely.
Line the baking dish: Parchment paper makes removing and slicing the fudge super easy. Just lift it out, and you’re ready to cut!
Chill thoroughly: Allow the fudge to set for at least 2 hours in the fridge. The longer it chills, the cleaner and firmer the slices will be.
Add a pinch of salt: A sprinkle of sea salt on top takes this fudge to a whole new level of flavor, balancing out the sweetness perfectly.

FAQs

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months—just thaw in the fridge before serving.

Absolutely! Walnuts, almonds, or even crushed pretzels make great substitutes if you’re looking to switch up the texture.

This can happen if the chocolate is overheated. Be sure to microwave in short intervals, stirring often to ensure smooth, consistent results.

Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean with a damp cloth between cuts. This helps achieve neat, professional-looking squares.
