Step 3: Add Flavor and Texture
Once smooth, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the sweetness and 1 cup of chopped pecans for a nutty crunch. Make sure the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the fudge for the perfect bite every time.
Transfer the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray or baking dish, spreading it evenly to about 1-inch thickness.
Step 4: Swirl in Caramel
Drizzle 1/2 cup of room-temperature caramel sauce over the top of the fudge. Using a knife or spatula, gently swirl the caramel through the white chocolate base. Create delicate patterns—it doesn’t need to be perfect; the marbled effect adds visual appeal and makes each square unique.
Pro Tip: Don’t overmix the caramel; you want defined swirls for a stunning presentation.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Place the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch. Once set, cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or share immediately with friends and family for maximum enjoyment.
Serving Suggestion: Pair a square of fudge with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat, or serve on a festive platter with assorted nuts and chocolate pieces for a stunning dessert display.
