Candied Pecan Chocolate Fudge
This decadent chocolate fudge recipe is easy to make and topped with candied pecans!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1/2 tsp seal salt
- 20-25 pecan halves
For the Chocolate Fudge:
- 3 cups regular or mini chocolate chips regular or dark chocolate
- 1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
For The Candied Pecans:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, the water, and half a teaspoon of the sea salt until it is dissolved.
- Let this syrup cook without stirring until a rich golden color (this takes some time), then remove from heat.
- Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.
- Add all of the pecans into a bowl and stir with the homemade caramel. (or you can dip individually).
- Place the individual pecan halves on the parchment paper and let cool until hardened.
For The Chocolate Fudge:
- Melt the mini chocolate chips with your preferred method, I used a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water. (double boiler, microwave, etc)
- Stir together the melted chocolate, the sweetened condensed milk, and the rest of the sea salt.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Press the candied pecan halves in even rows. You can do as many pecans as you dipped for more cut into smaller pieces. I did 5 rows of 4 making 20 pieces.
- Let rest until it is set or you can toss it in the fridge for faster results.
- Sprinkle with a bit more sea salt for garnish.
- Then slice the fudge into squares making the candied pecans the center of each piece and serve.
