#1381 - Creamy Butter Pecan Fudge

(by Shirley McNevich)

1/2 cup softened butter (NO substitutes)
1/2 cup Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
pinch of salt
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups Domino's powdered sugar
1 cup (or more) pecans (broken into small pieces--NOT fine pieces)

Spread pecan pieces on a cookie sheet and toast lightly toast them in your oven (don't let them get too dark)--set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat add butter, dark brown sugar, white sugar, heavy whipping cream and salt--stir until mixed, then continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, continue stirring and cooking for 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat--add vanilla and powdered sugar--stir until smooth. Add toasted pecan pieces--stir until mixed. Pour mixture into a greased 8" square baking pan (use butter to grease the pan instead of Pam to get more butter flavor). Let the fudge cool completely, then cut into squares.
