White Pecan Praline Fudge Recipe
Every time I travel, I try to recreate a dish I ate on my trip to remember those times. And this is how this delicious White Pecan Praline Fudge Recipe was born.
During the Holidays, we traveled to Stowe, Vermont. A quiet little town nestled in the mountains. About 30 years ago, my grandparents bought a house over there and we try to go as often as we can. The summer is spectacular as well as the white winters.
In this particular one, I went to a store on the main street and ate the most delicious Pecan praline fudge ever! It was soft and chewy with a soft and crunchy center. This is the original one I ate:
As soon as I came back home I had one mission: making that delicious fudge. Through some trial and error, I was able to make my version and it turned out amazing!
Unfortunately, it took 2 burned pecan praline mixes and a hard white chocolate outside. But in the end, I nailed it!
Making it is very easy but it does require a candy thermometer. They can easily be found at food and craft stores and some of them cost less than $10.
While you can attempt this recipe without one I highly recommend you invest in a cheap thermometer because when making caramel, the mixture can go from one stage to the next one in seconds. Hence my 2 burned batches of Pecan Praline.
Imagine 2 layers of white chocolate fudge sandwiched together in between a sweet soft center. A bite of this would make you close your eyes and savor the moment.
Here’s the step-by-step process for this yummy White Pecan Praline Fudge Recipe
As you can see I use 2 pots on the stove. One for the fudge and one for the praline. Everything is poured into an 8×8″ square pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal. I pour half of the white chocolate fudge on the bottom, pour the praline, and finally, top off with the remaining white chocolate mixture. Let it set and then cut it into squares.
If you want, you can add a little praline on top. But that’s optional. You can also make it with milk chocolate as well.

Condensed milk is ?? Evaporated Milk or SWEETENED condensed milk?
Anita sweetened condensed milk
in the pecan praline portion of the recipe, there is 1/2 cup of condensed milk called for, but I don’t see any mention of it in the instructions. I am confused.
I apologize for omitting that Maureen. I updated the recipe an added the condensed milk in the instructions.
Yummy! Just look at its color! It looks so innocent. But I can also feel the softness and chewiness of this fudge!
Thanks Maureen!
I think this recipe should again be updated to read SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK. First time I read it to mean evaporated milk and did not harden. Second time used the Sweetened Condensed Milk and it is WONDERFUL!
My mistake using the evaporated milk but would be more clear with Sweetened added to it ???
Hi Mary! You are absolutely correct. I meant to say sweetened condensed milk. Since it’s the only kind I buy I wrongly assumed . I will update the recipe with the word.
Also, I am glad you liked it!!
Hi silly quick question! Does this not require refrigeration?
Not at all Sandra! no refrigeration needed 🙂
I go to Stowe every year and ALWAYS stop in the village to get that same fudge. I’m sure, with all those big dairy farms, that the fudge has cream in it to make it so scrumptious. Ever try adding real cream?
I haven’t Mary but that’s a great idea! I’ll do some experimenting 😉
Hello!
What does the 14 next to the “1 oz can of condensed milk” represent?
thanks
Sorry,it means 1 can of condensed milk.
Great thanks!
Stupid question. Where is says the serving size it defaults to 24. and next to that it says 30 squares. so my question is how many squares is it altogether with it being 24 servings and 30 squares because idk if the 30 squares is 1 serving or not.
Not a stupid question George! it just depends on the size you cut them, that’s all

Hi there!
Your recipe for Praline fudge looks so good! I would like to make this but the recipe is missing 🙁 When I clicking it to print or for recipe it only shows a very small portion of the top . Could you please send me the recipe?
Hi Shelly! there’s a glitch in the recipe software. I am trying to get it fixed asap. Sorry for the incovenience
Tiffany – this fudge looks amazing. This is exactly what I was searching for. My wife and I make many versions of no-bake fudge both white and traditional chocolate. White praline fudge is probably one of the best out there – cannot wait to try. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Let me know how this comes out! cheers
Sorry you didn’t enjoy the praline layer (my favorite part 🙂 )
Can’t wait to try this! I am gifting this to my husband for his birthday:) he LOVES getting praline fudge when we go out of town but it’s soooo expensive! Wish me luck!
Good Luck Alisha! please let me know how it comes out! Happy Birthday to your husband
Great recipe. Easy to make. The praline layer always turns out for me but the white chocolate layer always stays a little gooey. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
I may be messing up with the condensed milk. I converted oz to cups. And put 1 3/4cup of the milk. Was that too much?
How long can you store the fudge.? I can ‘t wait to try this recipe.
About a week in an airtight container – although I doubt that it will last that long… 🙂
i made this and my white chocolate layer became very greasy when re melting the top half… it still worked great but i was wondering if there was any reason that would occur…
That happened because of the heat applied when melting the white chocolate. It separated the solids from fat. To get it back to its original shape you need an immersion blender.
Yum! I am including this in a fudge recipe round up On Rockwood Lane in celebration of National Fudge Day!
If you don’t have corn syrup is there something else I can use or omit 🤔
Hi Doreen! use glucose or honey. Although honey may change the flavor. Do not omit because it’s what going to give it that beautiful chewy texture
I absolutely LOVE this recipe.. Thanks as I have looked for a recipe like this for about 10 years. I first had fudge like this at an amazing chocolate shop in Nevada City, California back then.. This recipe is really similar so thanks again!
Thanks for your feedback Debbie! I am so glad you enjoyed them!
