Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

For The Candied Pecans:
  1. 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.
  2. Let this syrup cook without stirring until a rich golden color (this takes some time), then remove from heat.
  3. Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.
  4. Add all of the pecans into a bowl and stir with the homemade caramel. (or you can dip individually).
  5. Place the individual pecan halves on the parchment paper and let cool until hardened.
For The Chocolate Fudge:
  1. Melt the mini chocolate chips with your preferred method, I used a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water. (double boiler, microwave, etc)
  2. Stir together the melted chocolate, the sweetened condensed milk, and the rest of the sea salt.
  3. Pour the chocolate mixture into an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  4. 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.
  5. Let rest until it is set or you can toss it in the fridge for faster results.
  6. Sprinkle with a bit more sea salt for garnish.
  7. Then slice the fudge into squares making the candied pecans the center of each piece and serve.
