Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 0.67 cup whole milk
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges for easy removal. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and whole milk. Stir frequently over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat slightly to maintain a steady simmer and continue cooking, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches 235°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 10–15 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the marshmallow creme and white chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and toasted, chopped pecans until well incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 1–2 hours, then transfer it to the refrigerator to fully set for at least 2 more hours.
Once the fudge is firm, carefully lift it out of the pan using the foil overhang. Peel away the foil and cut the fudge into 24 small squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
