A delightful twist on the classic butter pecan fudge, these caramel pecan fudge squares are rich, creamy, and perfect for any occasion.
Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by coating it with nonstick cooking spray.
Ensure the dish is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the sugar.
Allow the mixture to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
Use a timer to ensure precise boiling time for the right consistency.
Stir in the toasted pecans and vanilla extract until well combined.
Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a crunch.
Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Sift the confectioners' sugar beforehand to avoid lumps.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even finish.
Allow the fudge to cool to room temperature, then cut into 1-inch squares and serve.
For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
