{5 Minute} Chocolate Pecan Fudge is smooth and creamy rich chocolate fudge generously filled with pecans. This fudge is perfect for gifting, snacking, and serving for any occasion!
Traditionally, old-fashioned fudge is a time intensive and finicky candy to make. It used to require a candy thermometer and a considerable amount of time spent stirring the hot mixture over the stovetop. Now, I’m thrilled to be making countless varieties of fudge in just minutes!
While I’m not really a fan of “microwave cooking” in general, nothing beats being able to melt baking ingredients to the perfect consistency in just moments. To make this Chocolate Pecan Fudge, you simply combine everything in a glass bowl, heat for a couple minutes, pour onto a tray, and refrigerate until firm!
COOK’S NOTE: If you aren't a fan of the microwave, you can easily melt the chocolate, milk and butter in a double boiler on the stove top.
