Flavor the rich penuche fudge with the authentic taste of McCormick® Maple Extract. Studded with pecans, it’s as tasty as it is pretty.

Maple Pecan Fudge

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing foil to extend over sides of pan. Spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Mix evaporated milk, brown sugar, and butter in large saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring frequently until mixture reaches 236 degrees on a candy thermometer (soft-ball stage), about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.

Gradually beat in powdered sugar with an electric mixer on low speed. Increase speed to medium; beat until thickened and smooth. Stir in maple and vanilla extracts and 1 cup of pecans. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Top with remaining 1/2 cup pecans.

Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm. Use foil to lift fudge out of pan and place on cutting board. Cut into 25 squares. Stor in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
