Ingredients:
3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups white chocolate chips
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow cream
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prep Work:
Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out later.
Toast the pecans by spreading them evenly on a baking sheet and baking in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until fragrant. Allow them to cool before chopping.
Cooking the Base:
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, insert a candy thermometer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the soft ball stage at 240°F (116°C).
Adding Flavors:
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Incorporating Pecans:
Gently fold in the toasted and chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
