Step-by-Step Instructions for Caramel Pecan White Chocolate Fudge
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of butter, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 6-8 minutes. Once thickened, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, place 2 cups of white chocolate chips. Melt using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  3. Gradually pour the warm caramel into the melted white chocolate, stirring until glossy. Fold in 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of toasted pecans.

  5. Remove fudge from the pan and cut into squares. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
