Maple Butter Pecan Fudge

Maple Butter Pecan Fudge

Ingredients:

• 3 cups white chocolate chips

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 cup chopped toasted pecans (plus extra for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Pan:

   • Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease if desired.

2. Toast the Pecans (if not already toasted):

   • In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast pecans for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Set aside to cool.

3. Make the Fudge Base:

   • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, maple syrup, butter, salt, and vanilla.

   • Stir constantly until everything is melted and smooth (don’t let it boil).

4. Add Pecans:

   • Stir in the chopped toasted pecans until evenly distributed.

5. Pour & Set:

   • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

   • Optional: Sprinkle extra pecans on top and gently press them in.

6. Chill:

   • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.

   • Lift the fudge out using the parchment, cut into squares, and enjoy!
