Instructions 

  • Prepare the 13 x 9-inch pan by laying down a sheet of aluminum foil followed by a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray.
  • In a large saucepan, whisk together evaporated milk and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and add the candy thermometer. Allow the mix to reach 243 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring regularly for approximately 10-20 minutes.
  • While the sugar and evaporated milk is cooling, add the butter and chocolate to a separate bowl.
  • Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and butter. If the evaporated milk and sugar do not appear to be smooth use a strainer while pouring it to remove any lumps. Whisk immediately after pouring with egg whisk.
  • Add the vanilla to the mixture and whisk until fully combined.
  • If your fudge mix appears grainy or not smooth, add in half and half. Add in one tablespoon at a time until the fudge is smooth and shiny.
  • If you desire, add the pecans to the fudge.
  • Using a spatula, pour the fudge into the pan. Use the spatula to evenly spread out the fudge.
  • Place the fudge in the fridge uncovered until it is fully cooled and set.
  • Once the fudge is set, cover with plastic wrap and return it to the fridge for three hours.
  • After the fudge has been in the fridge for at least three hours, flip the fudge over onto a cutting board and remove parchment paper. Dip a sharp knife into hot water, then trim the edges of the fudge and cut into squares.
  • Fudge makes great presents for the holidays to give your friends and family.

Notes

  • This fudge recipe is a great base for adding your favorite toppings. Nuts, pretzels, caramels, peanut butter, candy and graham crackers all taste delicious when added to fudge. Let your creativity flow when adding toppings to your fudge.
  • Using a candy thermometer is key to getting the fudge to reach the right consistency. Once you know for sure that the fudge has reached the right temperature, you can move on to the next step.
  • Dipping a sharp knife in hot water will help trim the edges and allow you to cleanly cut through the fudge. The heat from the knife will help you achieve a smooth cut.
  • When storing fudge, use parchment paper as a layer between pieces. Then wrap the fudge in aluminum foil and place it in an airtight container. This will help prevent the fudge from losing moisture and crumbling.
  • Fudge can be stored at room temperature for two to three weeks. It can also be stored in the fridge for up to three weeks and in the freezer for up to three months. Allow the fudge to thaw at room temperature before serving.
