How to Make Praline Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup milk. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Continue boiling, without stirring, until the thermometer registers 210°F (99°C).
  3. Remove from heat. Immediately stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  4. Let the mixture cool slightly until it reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F/113°C). Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups pecan halves.
  5. Once the temperature reaches 237°F (114°C), remove from heat and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the mixture is thick, creamy, and loses its glossy sheen. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Grease a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with butter. Spoon the fudge into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  7. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
