Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Ensure the candy thermometer is accurate for the best results. Be patient during the cooling and beating process; this is key to achieving the perfect fudge consistency. For a richer mocha flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of coffee liqueur along with the vanilla extract.
