White Chocolate Caramel Pecan Fudge

Ingredients

3 cups white chocolate chips
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup room temperature caramel sauce

Instructions

Combine the chocolate chips, the milk, and the butter in a medium size glass bowl and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds.
Stir to combine and heat another 15 seconds. Stir and heat an additional 15 seconds, only if needed. There will still be a few pieces of unmelted chocolate in the bowl.
Stir until mostly smooth with just a few flecks of unmelted chocolate. Add the extract and pecans and stir to combine. Scoop onto a parchment lined tray. Spread with a spatula to approximately 1-inch thickness. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Lightly swirl the caramel into the fudge with a knife or the end of the spatula.
Chill until ready to serve. Slice into 1-inch squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy!

Notes

COOK’S NOTE: For this recipe, I used my homemade caramel sauce. However, the fudge will also work beautifully with a store-bought caramel sauce.If you don’t happen to be a fan of white chocolate, this fudge works beautifully (and is equally tasty) when made with semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
