Instructions

For the Fudge

  1. Place butter slices and chocolate chips in a large mixer bowl.
  2. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Use the butter wrapper to grease the parchment paper.
  3. In a 2 quart (or larger) saucepan, bring sugar and milk to a rolling boil on the stove top. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon — do not scorch. Boil for 10 minutes, while constantly stirring.
  4. Remove from heat and pour into the mixer bowl with the butter and chocolate chips. Beat for 3 minutes with the mixer. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla and mix thoroughly.
  5. Spread warm fudge into the buttered 9x13 pan. Let cool completely before adding the topping. 

For the German Chocolate Icing

  1. Combine sugar, milk, butter, and egg yolks in a large saucepan before setting on the stove.  
  2. Bring the mix to a boil over medium heat until it thickens or about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and add vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
  4. Let mixture cool completely before applying to fudge. 
  5. Cut fudge into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Fudge does best sitting out on the counter at room temperature. If your home is normally a warmer temperature, then place back in the refrigerator for an hour.
