1 bag White Chocolate Chips

½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Adds depth and enhances the overall flavor. -
4 tablespoons Butter
Helps to create a silky-smooth texture. -
1 cup Pecans, chopped
Adds crunch and a nutty contrast to the sweetness.
-
¾ cup Caramel Sauce, at room temperature

Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate Mixture
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, butter, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk. Heat the mixture in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval.
Step 2: Achieve a Smooth Texture
Continue heating in 15-second intervals until the chocolate chips are fully melted. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add Pecans
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
Step 4: Prepare the Baking Dish
Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the fudge mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly to about an inch thick or your desired depth.
Step 5: Add Caramel Swirl
Drizzle the room-temperature caramel sauce generously over the top of the fudge. Then, using a knife, drag it through the fudge and caramel in a swirling motion to create a beautiful marbled effect.
Step 6: Chill and Set
Place the fudge in the refrigerator and chill until it’s fully set. This usually takes about 2-3 hours for the best results.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper. Cut it into one-inch squares, serve, and enjoy every decadent bite!
