Butter Pecan Fudge Recipe
Give this butter and pecan fudge as a gift and people will love it! This fondant is so creamy and buttery and the toasted pecans add excellent texture. The best of all.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed, plus butter for greasing pan.
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
First, line an 8 x 8-inch pan with aluminum foil. Grease the aluminum foil with butter.
Then, in a medium saucepan with a thick bottom, combine the butter, the two sugars, the cream and the salt.
Bring to a rapid boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads at 234 ° (soft ball stage). Remove from fire. Add the vanilla to the pan (do not stir).
Cool, without stirring, to 110 °, about 30 minutes.
Beat with a spoon until the fudge begins to thicken.
Gradually stir in sugar from confectioners until smooth; add the nuts and continue to stir until the fudge becomes very thick and just begins to lose its luster. Immediately spread in the prepared pan.
Cool. Happy Cooking Time.
