Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk one standard can
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
- 1.25 cup pecans, roughly chopped toast for best flavor
- 11 oz soft caramel candies, unwrapped
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
- Toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 3–5 minutes. Cool.
- Melt chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until silky.
- Stir in vanilla and fine sea salt. Fold in about half of the toasted pecans.
- Spread roughly half the fudge mixture into the lined pan. Chill 5–10 minutes to slightly set.
- Melt caramels with heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and pourable.
- Pour caramel over the first fudge layer. Sprinkle on the remaining pecans and press gently.
- Spread the remaining fudge over the caramel to cover. Smooth the top. Sprinkle flaky salt if using.
- Chill until firm, about 2 hours, then lift out by the parchment and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into small squares with a warm knife. Wipe the blade between cuts for clean edges.
Notes
Try swapping in dark chocolate chips for a deeper cocoa note, or add a pinch of espresso powder to the fudge for a mocha twist. Store squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze up to 2 months with parchment between layers.
