Pecan Praline Fudge

Brown sugar gets the credit for the praline-like flavor of this Pecan Praline Fudge and coarsely chopped pecans bring a perfect balance to the richness of this delicious fudge.  It literally melts in your mouth!   

Fudge, fudge, and more fudge.  For years, the only two flavors of fudge that I ever made were chocolate and peanut butter.  I was a little skeptical when my twin sister first introduced me to Praline Pecan Fudge. That is until I tried it.  If you’re a fan of pralines, you’ll love this fudge.

 If you’re afraid to make fudge, don’t be. What if I told you that it takes five minutes to make this fudge and you don’t need to worry about using a candy thermometer.

All you have to do is line a 9 x 9-inch dish with parchment paper and butter the paper.  This recipe also calls for toasted pecans but the fudge is also great with plain un-toasted pecans.  As a matter of fact, I don’t toast them most of the time.  I love the taste of fresh pecans.  So anyway, so far, so good.  Right?

Then you combine some butter, cream, and brown sugar in a pan and bring the mixture to a boil.  Boil for exactly five minutes and remove the pan from the heat.

Add some powdered sugar and pecans and watch what happens…

The most creamy, praline-like candy emerges right before your eyes.  Sometimes candy will turn sugary after a few days, but this fudge gets more creamy.

I don’t know about you, but the month of December is the craziest and most busy month of the year.  I seem to live in my kitchen for the entire month of December.  I spend hours upon hours baking and making recipes that are time-consuming. When I do find a recipe that’s both quick and delicious I’m too excited.  This one’s a keeper!

Notes

• You can use either light or dark brown sugar in this recipe, or you can mix the two. The darker the sugar, the more of a praline taste the fudge will have.
