Old Fashioned Butter Pecan Fudge
Butter Pecan is my very favorite flavor of ice cream, so naturally it’s my favorite kind of fudge, too!
It’s a flavor that pairs perfectly with Apple Crisp, Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler, Peach Cobbler, or Apple Pie Bars! Or, you could just eat a bite size burst of my favorite creamy, sweet, buttery flavor in a piece of this Butter Pecan Fudge.
This fudge is a great gift idea for the holiday’s, too. You could either gift it by itself or put it on a tray with some of my other favorite candy like Nutty Toffee Crackers, Pecan Pralines, Candied Pecans, or Mini Pecan Pies!
