Description
White Chocolate Caramel Pecan Fudge is a creamy, indulgent treat that combines the richness of white chocolate, smooth caramel, and crunchy pecans. This easy no-bake fudge is perfect for any occasion, offering a sweet, nutty, and decadent flavor.
Ingredients
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (lightly toasted)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (for drizzling)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pecans: Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and golden. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan, melt sweetened condensed milk, butter, and white chocolate chips over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Add Caramel and Flavorings: Stir in caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
- Add the Pecans: Fold in the toasted pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Set the Fudge: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the fudge mixture into the dish and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours to set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Drizzle the Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the set fudge. Let the chocolate harden before serving, or chill to set completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Lift the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and serve!
Notes
For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or use another nut like walnuts or almonds.
To make the fudge vegan, use coconut condensed milk, dairy-free butter, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
If you prefer, you can add dried fruit like cranberries for a tart contrast to the sweet fudge.
