3 Ingredient Red Hot Fudge

This simple, easy to make 3 Ingredient Red Hot Fudge is the perfect last minute sweet treat for Valentine's Day.







Just so you all know- I am not a fudge maker. That is exactly why is there has been only one other lonely fudge recipe posted to my blog in the almost 3 years that I have called myself a food blogger.  





Quite frankly, I suck at making fudge. Yes, I am here to tell you all that food bloggers cannot indeed cook and bake everything perfectly. We do possess food nemeses, and homemade fudge happens to be one of mine.  





I had given up on ever making homemade fudge again, leaving any fudge that I may receive and consume in the near future up to my sister and mother who have both seemed to pretty much master that culinary skill. 





That is until now, my friends. I recently discovered a super simple trick to making quick, stress free, foolproof fudge.  And forgive me if you are already aware of this one ingredient that has made all the difference for this fudge making challenged mama, but it is a tub of store bought frosting!





Okay, some may call it cheating a little, but I call it "homemade" fudge success at last! ;)
No candy thermometers required, no constant mixing needed. 





Just 3 simple ingredients, a couple of zaps in your microwave, and a few minutes of your time are needed to make this 3 Ingredient Red Hot Fudge making it the perfect last minute sweet treat for your favorite Valentine...

Red Hot Chocolate Martini

Pin It

I have been a long time fan of the cinnamon and chocolate flavor combination. Some may know it as Mexican chocolate.
I came across some whipped chocolate vodka the other day and starting scheming of a way that I could make a chocolate cinnamon martini perfect for Valentine's Day to share for my February contributor post for White Lights On Wednesday.
Yes, I know there are cinnamon flavored liquors out there... but if you are familiar with the ones that are on the liquor store shelves, you probably know those are also pretty hardcore (ahem... *cough* Firewater).
