Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 0.67 cup whole milk
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges for easy removal. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and whole milk. Stir frequently over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce heat slightly to maintain a steady simmer and continue cooking, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches 235°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 10–15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the marshmallow creme and white chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and toasted, chopped pecans until well incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Step 7
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 1–2 hours, then transfer it to the refrigerator to fully set for at least 2 more hours.
Step 8
Once the fudge is firm, carefully lift it out of the pan using the foil overhang. Peel away the foil and cut the fudge into 24 small squares.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
