To transform this into pecan fudge, you use the original ½ cup of toasted pecans in the fudge itself, and then you sprinkle another ¼ cup on top of the fudge right before you put it in the refrigerator to chill for two hours. Pecans, optional? And only ½ cup? Unless you have an allergy to them, there's no reason to leave out those soft, sweet, and buttery pecans. The original recipe calls for an optional ½ cup of pecans. The recipe for this pecan fudge is actually a Carnation recipe (I think they call it "Carnation Famous Fudge"), and it's pretty much the perfect recipe.
