Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter

2 cups packed brown sugar

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup butterscotch chips

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups chopped pecans (toasted if desired)

½ teaspoon sea salt

Optional: additional pecans for topping, flaked sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray or butter.

    Melt Butter and Brown Sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and bubbling. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Continue stirring over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken and pulls away from the sides of the pan, approximately 4-5 minutes.

        Incorporate Chips and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the semi-sweet and butterscotch chips until completely melted and smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.

          Fold in Pecans: Gently fold the chopped pecans into the fudge mixture. For an extra depth of flavor, you can toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes before incorporating.

            Pour into the Prepared Pan: Pour the butterscotch pecan fudge mixture into the lined baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top along with a sprinkle of flaked sea salt for a gourmet touch.

              Chill: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then place it in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 2 hours or until set.

                Cut and Serve: Once chilled and firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
