Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 pound fudge
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14.4 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Melt the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy, with no visible lumps.
- Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to incorporate.
- Fold in most of the crushed pretzels, reserving some for topping. If using pecans, add them at this stage and mix gently.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved crushed pretzels on top, gently pressing them into the surface of the fudge.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely set and firm.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into small squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Tips
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching and ensure even melting of the white chocolate.
- Stir constantly when melting chocolate to achieve a smooth, glossy texture without any lumps.
- For extra flavor, try using different types of pretzels - salted, honey-wheat, or even chocolate-covered pretzels can add unique twists.
- Make sure to refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours to ensure it sets properly.
- Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- If you want a more decadent version, consider adding a drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top or sprinkling sea salt for an extra flavor punch.
- Allow the fudge to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the pretzels from getting soggy.
