Pecan Pie Fudge Recipe

Whoever decided to start making and serving fudge around the holidays deserves a reward! Fudge actually began as a happy accident in the late 1800s when a chocolate maker accidentally botched the making of French caramels. Baltimore, Maryland is where fudge first originated, and fudge is named after the fact that the creator fudged and a fabulous sweet treat was born.

Fudge is extremely popular because of how easy it is to adjust and make new flavors. It is amazing all the flavors of fudge you can find and some people can be quite creative with it.

Tips and variations for making this pecan pie fudge recipe:

● ½ cup of Butter is 8 tablespoons or 1 stick in the United States.
● Place one sheet of parchment paper across the pan. Place a second sheet of parchment paper across the first sheet (to form an +).
● I suggest using 36 pecan halves, one for each piece. If you are making your servings larger, adjust the pecans accordingly.
● If you plan on making 36 servings, that is 6 rows x 6 rows. If you plan on making 25 servings, that is 5 rows by 5 rows.

● It is best if the rest of the ingredients are not altered as they specifically complement or counteract each other in the perfect manner. I would not be able to offer any other suggestions as substitutions that would work in the same manner.
● Fudge can be stored in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. It will last up to two weeks in either situation. Fudge should never be stored at room temperature due to its ingredients.
