How to Make Praline Pecan Fudge

  1. Line an 9x9 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk. Whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for exactly 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. The mixture will begin to thicken and caramelize.
  5. Remove from heat immediately. Using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 cup marshmallow creme, 2 tablespoons praline liqueur (optional), and 1 cup pecan halves. Whisk vigorously until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the fudge into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Refrigerating for 30 minutes will speed up the process.
  8. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve.
