Ingredients

Scale

For the White Chocolate Fudge:

  • 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces (396 grams) sweetened condensed milk

For the Pralines:

  • 1½ cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1½ cups (330 grams) packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) evaporated milk
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240 grams) pecan halves, roughly chopped

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the White Chocolate Fudge:
    • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
    • Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth, approximately 5–8 minutes.
    • Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Pralines:
    • In a separate medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, salt, evaporated milk, and unsalted butter.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 236°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage).
    • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
    • Continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly and begins to lose its gloss.
  3. Combine and Set:
    • Pour the praline mixture over the white chocolate fudge layer in the baking dish.
    • Use a spatula to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.
    • Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature until set.
  4. Serve:
    • Once set, cut the fudge into squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Tip: Pre-measure all ingredients and prepare your baking dish before starting, as the praline mixture sets quickly.
