Set aside. Over medium heat, stir together the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a 2-quart saucepan until smooth and melted. Pour the fudge into the prepared baking dish. Set aside. Clean out the fudge saucepan and return it to the stove to make the coconut pecan frosting. With NO heat on, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks. Turn the heat to medium and add the butter. Stir until butter has melted. Continue stirring regularly for another 5-10 minutes until mixture is thick and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut and pecans. Pour coconut pecan frosting over the fudge layer and spread evenly. Let cool for 4-6 hours at room temperature or until fudge has set completely.

No way. German chocolate cake is probably my favorite ever. Then I scroll down to see Heavenly Hash donuts too!?!?!? I don’t know if I can make these. I will likely eat them all until my stomach hurts. But I pinned just in case! Thanks! Reply
Fudge is TOTALLY appropriate for Valentine’s Day — it’s one of my favorite treats! (Along with truffles… I’m a true chocoholic.) German chocolate holds a special place in my family’s heart. It’s one of my dad’s two favorite birthday cakes and has been since his high school days. He’d absolutely adore your fudge! Reply
