Gingerbread Fudge Recipe
I am really whipping out the fudge recipes this holiday season. Today I am sharing this Gingerbread Fudge recipe. Last week I shared a Red Velvet Fudge recipe. Today I took pictures of a Cherry Vanilla Fudge recipe I made.
It seems like every year I go through stages during the crazy holiday baking and making season. Last year I was whipping out Bark recipes. My favorite was Pistachioย Cranberry Bark.
This year I am obsessed with making homemade fudge. Not your old boring chocolate or peanut butter fudge mind you but flavors that you don't see every day like the Red Velvet Fudge or this Gingerbread Fudge.
The cool thing about these fudge recipes is that instead of using marshmallow fluff to make the fudge I am using seasonal flavored marshmallows.
You may have seen the cute little gingerbread marshmallows while you were out shopping. You may have looked at them and thought wow those will be great floating around on top of a cup of hot cocoa but what else can I do with them?
That's what I originally thought when I picked up a bag. I thought the grandkids would love them in a cup of hot cocoa.
Well, that was before I made the Red Velvet Fudge using Kraft Red Velvet Cupcake marshmallows. The Red Velvet Fudge was easy to make and turned out so good I had to try it with the Gingerbread Marshmallows too.
If I don't get this fudge out of my house soon I am going to gain 10 pounds! I can't decide which one I like better. They all taste so good.
I spent an hour or so packing up Christmas gift bags for friends and family with all the Christmas treats I have been making. I've got to get this fudge out of my house asap! I'm so happy I know plenty of people who will love getting it as gifts this year.
I still have the Cherry Vanilla Fudge to wrap up but that is going to have to wait until tomorrow. I ran out a treat bags.
