Cooking Vessel Size8 x 8 Baking Pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 15 caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 16 whole pecans
Instructions
-
Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper so it comes up the sides a bit.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and milk. Set aside the bowl with the caramels.
-
Microwave the chocolate chip mixture at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue to repeat until the ingredients are melted and combined. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it out using a spatula.
-
Microwave the caramel mixture at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue to repeat. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Immediately pour the melted caramel over the fudge and swirl it around using a fork or knife.

Press the whole pecans into the fudge in rows of 4.
-
Let set in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Store the fudge in the refrigerator.

I love that this fudge uses two different kinds of chocolate -- you can really taste it! Definitely going to make this again for my family!

The fudge literally melted in my mouth; it was pretty good and I'm not even a big fan of fudge. I'd definitely eat more if it wasn't all gone already.

These fudgey morsels came out creamy and rich... but not too rich! Great for a chocolate fix or even as sweet gift.

This fudge was very sweet, so I couldn't eat another piece right away....but, I did go back for seconds later.

SO GOOD! I loved that the fudge was soft but firm. The pecans added a nice crunch - the texture was pretty much perfect.

I love anything with caramel, pecans, and chocolate, so this fudge is the perfect thing. It's very rich so one piece will do, but I had another anyways. It was that good!

This reminded me of the fudge I make every year for Christmas, but better! I think the two different kinds of chocolate really do the trick, and the pecans on top make the fudge look so fancy!
