It also seemed time to try a new fudge recipe. While I like my old one, it makes a huge 9x13 and sometimes just doesn't come out as creamy as I would like. So, I read more fudge recipes than you can count and finally settled on one. It did not disappoint - it was very good and I plan to make another batch before the end of the year. I skipped the nuts and just kept the rich, chocolatey flavor all on it's own. I'm certain you could mix kinds of chocolate or change it to whatever suits your taste!

Thanks for posting these.
Yum! I think I might have to try the chocolate fudge recipe. What kinds of things should I mix into it? I've not had a ton of homemade fudge in my life and am trying to think of additions that don't include nuts...
ReplyDeleteSarah - that sounds yummy! I've been wanting to come up with a mocha fudge but haven't yet. :) The Tiger Fudge sounds great!
ReplyDeleteHey Lana! You could add dried fruit or toffee.
I looooooooovvvee fudge!!! :-P Thanks for the delicious recipes.. I can't wait to try them out! Just a question: could you use chunky peanut butter for the peanut butter fudge recipe? It's all I have in the house and I'm raring to go make some fudge!
ReplyDelete[...] Four ingredient peanut butter fudge. [...]
ReplyDeleteYes, Hannah! I think it would be just fine with crunchy peanut butter - in fact, I was thinking of trying that myself to increase the nutty flavor!
