If there was one holiday treat you couldn't live without, what would it be? Mine would probably be fudge. I am such a sucker for fudge. The smooth and velvety texture and rich flavor get me every time. I cannot resist it.
I made this White Chocolate Toffee Fudge a few years ago and it quickly became a favorite. It was time to turn it into a Classic Chocolate Pecan version. I swapped out the white chocolate chips for semi-sweet and the toffee bits for pecans and it turned out amazing. It is so creamy and decadent with a smooth chocolate flavor and nice nuttiness from the pecans.
This is so easy to make and it turns out perfect every time.
Classic Chocolate Pecan Marshmallow Fluff Fudge

(Printable Recipe)
3 c. sugar
1 c. evaporated milk
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 (12 oz.) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (7 oz.) carton marshmallow creme
1 c. chopped pecans, divided
1 tsp. vanilla
Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk and butter. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow creme, 3/4 cup pecans and the vanilla. Stir until smooth and creamy and pour into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pecans. Cool until firm, then cut into 1-inch squares and serve. Keep stored, in the refrigerator, in an air-tight container.
