  1. Combine 2 cups packed light brown sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, and 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk in a 3-quart saucepan.

  3. Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1 cup butterscotch morsels and 1 cup marshmallow creme.
  4. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and begins to cool slightly.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans, ½ cup brickle chips, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Grease two 8x8 inch baking pans with butter or cooking spray.
  7. Spread the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pans.

  9. Gently press a pecan half onto each fudge square, if desired.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
