Pink Pecan Fudge

I made this fudge and could not stop eating it! Many fudge recipes contain walnuts, but I thought the supple texture of pecans much more compatible in this luscious line-up of ingredients.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pink Candy Melts chips
1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk
Pinch of salt
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, shelled

Directions

Add pink Candy Melt chips and butter into a large mixing bowl. Butter an 8-inch square pan.

Place sugar, evaporated milk, and salt in a medium heavy bottom saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and immediately pour over chips and butter in mixing bowl. Beat mixture on a low speed for 5 minutes and then increase speed to high for another 5 minutes. Stir in pecans and pour candy into buttered pan.

Chill until set and then cut into small squares.
