Course Dessert
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 16

Ingredients

  • ½ C Unsalted Butter softened
  • ¼ C Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 C Flour
  • ½ C Pecans finely ground
  • 1 C M&M's® Crispy
  • 2 C Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 C Mexican Chocolate
  • 1 14 oz Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, then line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Whip the butter in a mixing bowl on medium high speed until light and fluffy, around five minutes. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla, then stir in the flour and ground pecans.
  • Turn the dough out into the pan and press gently until the dough covers the entire bottom and is even in thickness.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • While the bars bakes, in a small saucepan over medium low heat, add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate, and stir until melted. Add the vanilla and cinnamon and stir until combined.
  • When the bars come out of the oven, add the M&M's® Crispy on top, then pour the melted fudge mixture and spread until completely covered. Allow to set in the fridge for 2 hours before cutting.

Notes

If you can't find ground pecans, you can use a food processor. 1 cup of whole pecans will create around ½ cup of ground pecans. Also, Mexican chocolate is naturally grainy, so the melted fudge will not appear completely smooth. This is normal, and also, delicious.
