MeShell’s Diner Easy Butter Pecan Fudge

Easy fudge recipe to make without the need for candy thermometer. Delicious buttery fudge, which can be adapted to loads of different ingredients. Cup amounts are American cup measurements. Please Google for UK equivalents. Make sure pecans are toasted, cooled, and chopped before starting the fudge cooking process. Also, make sure powered (Icing) sugar has been sifted and measured out prior to beginning.
