Nothing quite says “It’s the Holidays” like a sweet and delicious Pecan Pie. And with this amazing Pecan Pie Fudge, you get all the tasty goodness of pecan pie in a thick, rich, decadent piece of fudge. It just doesn’t get better than that!
Pecan Pie Fudge is so good!
This Pecan Pie Fudge is so tantalizing and festive, it actually makes a great holiday gift for those “hard to shop for” people on your list. And this is deceptively easy to make, too, with pre-made pie crust and basic ingredients. In fact, you may already have most of these things in your home, if you do a lot of baking.
The combination of white chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla, and maple is seriously delicious, and I should warn you – when it is all mixed together, warm and melted, it can be a bit tough to stay out of. But when you pour that fudge all over your baked crust and let it firm up overnight, you’ll be glad you did. This Pecan Pie Fudge is a tasty treat you will want to make every year!
And, seriously, I won’t tell a soul if you lick the bowl clean!
