Aunt Rocky’s Sugar Free Pecan Fudge

Butter a 4×6 pan. Cut a strip of parchment or waxed paper wide enough to cover bottom of pan, and long enough to hang over both sides. Set aside.

In a large pot, add sugar, crema and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until it comes to a rolling boil. Boil for 8 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking or burning.

Add half of the pecans and all of the remaining ingredients. Stir well, pour into buttered pan. Sprinkle remaining pecans over the top.

Cool on a wire rack, then put in refrigerator to finish setting up. When fully set, run knife along uncovered edges of pan, lift fudge carefully out of dish and onto a cutting board (or cut into pieces while still in the pan, and then lift out). Cut into 20 pieces: 4 slices on short side, 5 slices on long side. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

Yields 20 squares of about 1 inch each.

Notes:
• If you can’t find the Walden Farms Marshmallow Dip, omit it. The fudge will be a little grainier and perhaps not as creamy. Try increasing the crema to 4 ounces and add a little more sweetener. It should still set up.
