• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped

Directions

Combine butter, milk, salt, brown and white sugars in a heavy pan on medium heat. Mix to combine and bring to a boil and stir continuously for 6 minutes.

Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes, then add vanilla, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until fudge is smooth and thick. Fold in pecans.

Grease a baking sheet with butter, then pour mixture onto the sheet to cool.

When cool enough to handle, use a greased spatula to help roll mixture into a wide log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place in fridge for 45 minutes before slicing.
