Ingredients

• 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

• 1 (14 oz / 395 g) can sweetened condensed milk

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ cup caramel sauce (thick, not runny)

• ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

• Pinch of salt (optional, for balance)

Instructions

Prepare the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

Melt the Base

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using.

Add Caramel and Nuts

Gently fold in the caramel sauce, swirling slightly to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix.

If using, fold in the chopped pecans evenly.

Set the Fudge

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Add a few extra caramel swirls or pecans on top if desired.

Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until completely set.

Slice and Serve

Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares with a sharp knife.
