MACKINAC ISLAND BUTTER PECAN FUDGE
One of my favorite places to visit every summer is Mackinac Island. Two of my favorite things to do while on the island is ride my bike around the perimeter of the island and then walk through town going in and out of all of the fudge shops looking for free samples. I'm so happy I found this recipe so I can make my own fudge between visits up north. I bought this recipe booklet called Mackinac Fudge Recipes for my cookbook swap partner. I hope she doesn't mind me posting a few of the recipes here on Zaar.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the fudge from burning.
- Stir the fudge constantly to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the doneness of the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Add the pecans and butter to the fudge after it has been removed from the heat. This will prevent the pecans from becoming too hard.
- Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish and let it cool for several hours or overnight before cutting into squares.
