Butter Pecan Fudge

This creamy, sweet, and buttery fudge sprinkled with the perfect texture and taste of toasted pecans is easy to make!

Old Fashioned Butter Pecan Fudge

Butter Pecan is my very favorite flavor of ice cream, so naturally it’s my favorite kind of fudge, too!

It’s a flavor that pairs perfectly with Apple Crisp , Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler , Peach Cobbler , or Apple Pie Bars ! Or, you could just eat a bite size burst of my favorite creamy, sweet, buttery flavor in a piece of this Butter Pecan Fudge.

This fudge is a great gift idea for the holiday’s, too. You could either gift it by itself or put it on a tray with some of my other favorite candy like Nutty Toffee Crackers , Pecan Pralines , Candied Pecans , or Mini Pecan Pies !

What You’ll Need

3/4 cup Pecans, Chopped

1/2 cup Butter

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Whipping Cream

1/2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Vanilla

2 cups Powdered Sugar

How to Make Butter Pecan Fudge

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sprinkle 3/4 cup chopped pecans on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes. You’ll know they are done when you can smell a nutty aroma.

Line a 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper.

Add 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup whipping cream to a sauce pan. Melt over medium heat.

Once melted, bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes without stirring.

Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp vanilla.

Then stir in 2 cups powdered sugar and fold in toasted pecans.

Spoon the mixture into the lined pan and let set for 2 hours.
