Ingredients
  

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup chopped pecans (toasted for enhanced flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

      Flavor It Up: Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) until well combined.

        Add Pecan Goodness: Fold in the toasted chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.

          Pour and Spread: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

            Chill: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until set.

              Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into small squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy your delicious Maple Pecan Fudge!
