seriously delightful vanilla fudge

There is nothing better in this world than my mom's vanilla fudge. She's been making it ever since I was a little girl. In my opinion, nothing rivals it. (You may want to take into consideration that the phrase, "it's too sweet" has never crossed my lips.) Mason and I went over to watch her make a batch. And I wanted to take a few photos to document...

If you love vanilla even more than chocolate like I do, you are going to want to try this recipe!


You'll need:
2 1/3 cups sugar

1 can pet milk (or evaporated milk)

1 stick butter

1 teaspoon vanilla (she uses McCormick's vanilla butter and nut flavoring)

1 cup chopped pecans


And here are the steps:

Grease a small platter.

Combine sugar and pet milk in a heavy saucepan and heat on medium, stirring occasionally.

When mixture starts to boil, add in butter.

Keep stirring.

Cook until mixture forms a soft ball in water.

Take off stove and add pecans and vanilla. Keep stirring until fudge loses its gloss and starts to harden.

Turn onto platter.

Let it cool and then cut into squares.

Enjoy the sweet deliciousness!
