White Pecan Fudge

Each Christmas, I package batches of this rich fudge to send to family and friends. It's just delicious!

78 ServingsPrep: 10 min. + chilling Cook: 10 min.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
2-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
2-1/4 cups sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
16 ounces white baking chocolate, finely chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans

Directions

Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Greased the foil with 1/2
tablespoon butter and set aside. Butter the sides of a large heavy
saucepan with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Cut remaining butter into small
pieces and place in a large heat-proof bowl; add marshmallows and
set aside.
In the buttered saucepan, combine sugar and cream. Cook and stir over
medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cover and cook for 2
minutes to dissolve any sugar crystals. Uncover; cook over medium
heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 234°
(soft-ball stage).
Remove from the heat. Pour over butter and marshmallows; stir until
melted. Add the chocolate. Continue stirring until chocolate and
mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla and nuts. Pour into prepared pan.
Refrigerate until firm. Lift out of pan; remove foil and cut into
1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
