Instructions

Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Make the chocolate base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until smooth and fully melted.
Pour and spread: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Make the coconut-pecan topping: In a separate saucepan, combine evaporated milk, brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 10–12 minutes).
Add coconut and pecans: Remove from heat and stir in shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
Top the fudge: Spread the coconut-pecan mixture evenly over the fudge base.
Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours or until firm.
Serve: Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
For cleaner cuts, use a warm knife.
Toasting the pecans adds an extra layer of flavor.
