Caramelized Pecan and Sea Salt Fudge
Caramelized Pecan and Sea Salt Fudge - a decadent and rich fudge that comes together easily with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for the holiday season!
Servings: 20 servings
Ingredients
- 1 C granulated sugar
- 1/2 C water
- 1 tsp sea salt divided
- 3 C miniature chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 20 pecan halves
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, the water, and half a teaspoon of sea salt until dissolved.
- Let this syrup cook without stirring until a rich golden color, then remove from heat.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each pecan half in the caramel (or toss all together in a bowl). Put the individual pecan halves on the baking sheet and let cool until hardened.
- Melt the chocolate chips with your method of choice (double boiler, microwave).Stir together the melted chocolate, condensed milk, and the rest of the sea salt. Pour into an 8 x 8 baking pan lined with parchment and smooth out the top.
- Press pecan halves in rows and columns (here I used 4x5) making it the center of each piece. Garnish with a bit more sea salt if desired.
- Let rest until set, chilling in the fridge if in a hurry. Slice the fudge into squares and serve.
