White Pecan Praline Fudge Recipe
Every time I travel, I try to recreate a dish I ate on my trip in order 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 store on main street and ate the most delicious Pecan Praline Fudge ever! It was soft, 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 own version and it turned out amazing!
Unfortunately, it took 2 burned pecan praline mixes and a hard white chocolate outside. But at 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 costs 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 definitely 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 into squares.
If you want, you can add a little praline on top. But that’s totally optional. You can also make it with milk chocolate as well.

- 3 Cups White Chocolate Chips
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk 14 oz
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 1/4 Cups Pecan Halves
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Cup Light Corn Syrup
-
Line an 8x8" square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the white chocolate chips with the condensed milk. Do not let it boil
-
Remove from heat, add the vanilla extract and mix
-
Pour half of the mixture on the baking pan. Save the rest in the pan and keep it warm
-
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix in the sugars, butter, salt, corn syrup, condensed milk and pecans over medium heat. Insert candy thermometer and cook until the caramel reaches the soft ball stage, around 235 Degrees F. Keep mixing constantly to prevent the mixture from burning
-
Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract
-
Pour the pecan praline on top of the white chocolate fudge and top off with the remaining white fudge. If the mixture has hardened simply put it back on medium heat to re-melt it again
-

Cut into squares and enjoy!

Maureen says
March 31, 2015 at 9:54 amin 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.
Tiffany says
March 31, 2015 at 10:07 amI apologize for omitting that Maureen. I updated the recipe an added the condensed milk in the instructions.
Maureen says
April 7, 2015 at 3:40 amYummy! Just look at its color! It looks so innocent. But I can also feel the softness and chewiness of this fudge!
Tiffany says
April 7, 2015 at 9:31 amThanks Maureen!
Mary says
November 28, 2015 at 12:00 pmI 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 ???
Tiffany says
November 28, 2015 at 12:03 pmHi 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!!

December 3, 2015 at 12:36 amHi silly quick question! Does this not require refrigeration?
Tiffany says

October 6, 2016 at 11:23 amI 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?
Tiffany says
October 6, 2016 at 1:34 pmI haven’t Mary but that’s a great idea! I’ll do some experimenting 😉

June 14, 2017 at 6:16 pmStupid 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.
Tiffany says
June 15, 2017 at 7:58 amNot a stupid question George! it just depends on the size you cut them, that’s all
