Notes
- Select high-quality white chocolate chips for the richest, smoothest flavor and best melting performance.
- Use a glass microwave-safe bowl to ensure even heating and prevent potential scorching of ingredients.
- Stir ingredients thoroughly to create a consistent texture and prevent uneven melting of chocolate.
- Check caramel sauce temperature carefully to avoid breaking the fudge’s delicate consistency when swirling.
- For gluten-free version, confirm all ingredients are certified gluten-free before preparation.
- Replace pecans with alternative nuts like almonds or walnuts for different flavor profiles or nut allergies.
- Ensure parchment paper covers entire tray surface for easy fudge removal and clean cutting.
- Cool fudge completely at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation and maintain smooth texture.
