  8. Refrigerate the fudge for approximately 2 hours or until completely set and firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from refrigerator and slice into precise 1-inch squares using a sharp knife.
  10. Transfer fudge squares to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for maximum freshness, consuming within one week.

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.
