I love fudge and I love chocolate so combining them is always a winner. The candy canes flavor adds a different touch to the fudge.
I have to become more creative and try some new recipes like this. I only make the fantasy fudge and that is it.
What’s fantasy fudge? sounds interesting 🙂
It is the fudge recipe on the label for the kraft marshmallow creme and it really is delicious
This looks delicious, I think it’s a great idea for a Christmas treat. I can’t wait to give this a try, thank you for sharing this recipe.
I usually have fudge at Christmas that my family makes but never tried it with candy canes. I would bet this is great tasting.
