This creamy, sweet, and buttery fudge sprinkled with the perfect texture and taste of toasted pecans is easy to make!

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!
