Butter Pecan Fudge

Christmas  Fudge 

• Servings: 32 servings
• Preparation Time: 20 minutes + cooling
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup pecan halves, toasted and coarsely chopped

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the butter, sugars, cream and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in pecans.

Spread into a buttered 8-in. square dish. Cool to room temperature. Cut into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Toasted pecans add a nutty crunch to this creamy, buttery fudge. I have given this candy with its wonderful caramel flavor as gifts at Christmastime, and people always rave about it!
