My grandmother always made fudge for the holidays and this reminds me of my childhood.
Technique tip: Don't overheat the milk or it will scald.
Swap option: You can swap the pecans for any other kind of nut, or omit the nuts completely. Leave the pretzels out to make the recipe gluten free.
Ingredients
Fudge
- 20 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 25 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 ounces butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup butter
