How to Make Incredible Chocolate Fudge

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened; 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips; and 1 cup powdered sugar.
  2. Set aside.
  3. In a buttered 6-quart Dutch oven, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (234°F on a candy thermometer).
  5. Carefully pour the hot sugar mixture over the chocolate mixture from step 1.
  6. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and begins to lose its gloss (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup pecan halves.
  8. Spread the fudge into a buttered 15x10 inch jellyroll pan.
  9. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until firm (at least 4 hours).
  10. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
