Easy Homemade Fudge
We love fudge around here. In the summer we head down to a local gift shop to sample some of their fudge, but around Christmas time, we like to get out our pots and pans and make up big batches of homemade fudge to eat and share. The recipe blow makes a big 5 pound batch of delicious fudge. Cut it up, put it in a pretty cellophane bag and add a ribbon and you have a great little gift.
Of course homemade fudge is also a big hit at holiday parties and to be honest, I like a piece (or two or three) with my coffee in the morning. I hope you and your family will enjoy it as much as we have. (And if 5 pounds of fudge sound a little overwhelming, you can easily cut the recipe in half).
