This smooth, creamy Vanilla Fudge is the perfect treat to share with family and friends this holiday season!
Can you believe that Christmas is in two days? That’s right TWO! I am so excited and a little terrified that I will forget something important and hugely disappoint someone on my list. I’m still expecting a few deliveries today and crossing my fingers that they get here on time. One sure way to keep your friends and family happy this holiday season is by making them a few goodies. You can fill their tummies and satisfy their sweet tooth at the same time and what better way to do both than with a little candy!
I made this fudge over the weekend per my husbands request, he’s not a big chocolate fan, unless it has peanut butter mixed in. So I decided to cook up a batch of classic vanilla fudge and add a few festive sprinkles on top. Let me warn you, not only is this fudge super smooth and creamy, it’s really rich. So grab a glass of milk and whip yourself up a batch; it literally melts in your mouth. My daughter described it as ice cream, thats how good it is! Out of the mouths of babes I tell you! So I know just you are going to love this decadent fudge too; enjoy and happy holidays!
