Instructions
For the Chocolate Layer
- Melt the chocolate chips for this layer before blending. You can either melt them in a small saucepan over low heat, or put them in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 second intervals, stirring each time until melted.
- Blend together all ingredients, including the melted chocolate, for the chocolate layer in a high speed blender until fully blended.
- Pour fudge mixture evenly into a prepared pan lined with parchment paper. Use a rubber spatula to even out the layer. Place this in the freezer.
For the Maple Layer
- Add the maple syrup and butter to a saucepan over medium heat, and keep stirring until it begins to boil, making sure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
- Once it boils, put it on low and let it simmer for about 4-5 minutes. Slowly add in the powdered sugar through a sieve.
- Stir the mixture as you add in the powdered sugar, until all of it is added in.
Put it Together
- Remove the chocolate fudge from the freezer and pour this layer on top.
- Once the layers are set, top each piece of fudge with an optional pecan.
- Cut the fudge into 8 pieces with a pizza cutter and enjoy!
