Toasted pecans add a nutty crunch to this creamy buttery fudge. I have given this candy with its wonderful caramel flavor, as gifts at Christmastime and people always rave about it! -Pam Smith Alta Loma, California

I have been making this fudge for over 4 years now. It is delicious and creamy. Definitely my go to recipe. Making a batch for my cookie swap!

This is so fun to make. I love the creaminess of the fudge. It just melts in your mouth. Make sure to sift your pdsugar. My family keeps sneaking pieces. I had to make another batch for my party:)

Decadent flavor!! This fudge just melts in your mouth. However, I did not achieve the creamy consistency that many have described, despite making the recipe twice. Both times, the end result was very crumbly when I tried to cut it into pieces. The second time, I even tried reducing the powdered sugar slightly to 1 3/4 cups, but the fudge was still quite crumbly. Still, the flavor is buttery and delicious....I may keep trying to tweak the recipe to get a creamier consistency.

I took this to my doctor's office during the holiday for the staff. They flipped their lids for it! I've had several requests for the recipe. I plan on taking another batch on my next appointment. I did, however, add marshmallow fluff to the recipe after it was done cooking to add more "height". The staff described it as a cross between fudge and divinity :)

Double the recipe and use 1 pound plus 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Make sure you sift the powdered sugar. This is the best.

This was excellent - the easiest fudge I've ever made. May do just a few less pecans in it next time.

Reminiscent of pecan pralines but so much easier to make.

Loved this recipe! After reading the reviews I cut the powdered sugar to 1 3/4 cup. Turned out very creamy and full of flavor
