Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 Can sweetened condensed milk
  • 20 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cup pecans as a topping optional

Instructions

  • Start by turning your Instant Pot onto Saute, and then add in your butter and let it melt.
  • Once melted addin your pecans and toast them in the butter. This takes 2-3 minutes to do. The butter will brown just a bit. Make sure to stir often so you do not burn your butter.
  • Turn the Instant Pot off, and then add in the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stirl and then let it sit for a minute to work on melting the chips.
  • Stir occassionally until the chocolate chips melt to a creamy texture. This takes 2-3 minutes.
  • Once melted pour into a parchment or aluminum foil lined bread pan.
  • Cover and place in the fridge to speed the setting up process, or leave on the counter on a cooling rack until it sets up.
  • Top with additional pecans if you want for this butter pecan fudge recipe.
  • Slice and serve and enjoy a homemade fudge.

Notes

If cooking on the stove, just do a low-medium heat to melt the butter and toast the nuts. Then turn off the heat and melt chocolate the same way.
Feel free to add in colorful sprinkles for a holiday theme, etc.
You can double this recipe if you want and then pour into an 8x8 pan.
Ensure you stir often when your butter and pecans are cooking or it can burn your mixture.
You could even add in a splash of rum extract for added flavor.
This fudge can be stored on the counter for 4-5 days, covered in an airtight container.
Or freeze fudge for up to three months.
