Butter Pecan Fudge

Ingredients

Butter Pecan Fudge

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 cup Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
1 cup + 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar, sifted
2 cups pecan halves, toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with pecans and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated oven. Allow pecans to cool while you make fudge.
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper with a bit of overhang to later serve as handles and easy removal of fudge. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Heat butter, sugars, 1 cup of heavy cream, and salt in a large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently with a rubber spatula as mixture begins to boil. Continue to boil until a candy thermometer reads 234°F (soft ball stage). Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream, and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in pecans.
Pour into prepared baking dish and cool to room temperature, about 3 hours. Once fudge is set, use excess parchment “handles” to transfer to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares.
