Instructions

-
Mix the chocolate chips, milk, and butter in a microwave-safe medium glass bowl. Put it in the microwave for 90 seconds to melt.
-
Combine well and heat for an additional 15 seconds. There may be a few unmelted chocolate pieces remaining in the bowl. If necessary, stir it and heat for another 15 seconds.
-
Stir until the mixture is almost smooth. Stir in the extract and pecans. Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking tray. With a spatula, spread to a thickness of about 1 inch. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top. With the end of a spatula or using a knife, gently swirl the caramel sauce into the fudge.
-
Refrigerate for a few hours until firm. Slice into 1-inch squares and serve. Enjoy!

Notes
This recipe requires sweetened condensed milk for its unique flavor, texture, and consistency; it will not work with evaporated milk, heavy cream, or half & half. I used homemade caramel sauce in this recipe. This fudge, however, works equally well with store-bought caramel sauce. If you don’t like white chocolate, you can make this fudge using semi-sweet or dark chocolate, which works just as well (and tastes just as good).
Give this recipe a try! Everyone loves the way these fudge squares look on the holiday platter or tray. Nobody will believe how simple it is to make homemade white chocolate fudge!
