By cnash

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 2 cups Tootsie Roll Midgees
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped Diamond of California® Pecans
• 1/3 cup green and red M&M's

Preparation

Step 1

Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, melt the Tootsie Rolls, peanut butter and remaining butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla (mixture will be very thick). Fold in pecans.
Spread into prepared pan. Using a sharp knife, score the surface into 1-in. squares. Press a M&M's candy into the center of each square. Cool. Using foil, remove fudge from pan; cut into squares. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2 pounds.
