Easy To Make : Microwave Pecan Nut Fudge

While everyone is getting ready to go summer body ready mode I wanted to share a recipe for an easy and quick cheat snack. One of the nights last week I was dying to have some fudge but we didn't have any at home (thankfully) and usually if I'm craving something sweet I can just let the craving pass after a few minute but this one was persistent.

So when I woke up I sent out for the ingredients and then made it. Once small piece was all I needed to fulfill my craving and a week later, the fudge is still around! 

Pecan Nut Fudge

Required:

Microwave

Microwaveable large bowl

Heat resistant dish (square or rectangle)

1 Tin x Condensed Milk – Full Cream

500ml x Castor Sugar

125 g x butter

5ml x vanilla essence

100g x pecan nuts (chopped)

~    Combine sugar, condensed milk and butter in bowl place in microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, or until butter has melted

~  Remove from microwave and mix well

~ Put bowl back into microwave for 10 minutes, stopping it every few minutes to mix

~  When the mixture starts to look a light caramel colour (around 6.30 min – 7 min) add in vanilla essence and nuts – mix well! 

~  Leave on for another minute and a half to two minutes

~   Remove and place in cool rectangle/square container which is lined with spray and cook

~ Place in fridge until set

~ Remove after two hours and indent pieces or leave it longer for  a more rustic sizing.

If you try it, let me know how it goes!

Have an awesome day!
