Chocolate Nutella Fudge

This two ingredient Chocolate Nutella Fudge has a rich chocolate taste with just a touch of hazelnut goodness...

Happy February, folks! Did you know that February happens to be National Chocolate Lovers month? I mean, it totally makes sense with Valentine's Day being less than a couple of weeks away. And chocolate definitely speaks the language of love, am I right? ;)

And then we have World Nutella Day on the 5th! An entire day dedicated to celebrating that creamy, chocolaty goodness that is Nutella hazelnut spread. Other than maybe cookie butter, Nutella has be one of the best things ever to come out of a jar. 

I can't think of a better way to celebrate the intersection of National Chocolate Lovers Month with World Nutella Day than with this super easy to make, two ingredient Chocolate Nutella Fudge...

Gingerbread Oreo Fudge

Requiring just 4 simple ingredients & your microwave to make, this Gingerbread Oreo Fudge is the perfect last minute holiday treat...

Gingerbread happens to be one of my favorite flavors of the holiday season. And surprisingly up until last week, I didn't have a single gingerbread recipe on the blog. But I am working quick to catch up by sharing my second gingerbread recipe with you all in less than a week- this easy-to-make and festive Gingerbread Oreo Fudge.

The inspiration for this fudge started in the holiday aisle of my local Target. Isn't that where all food bloggers find recipe inspiration? ;) I first spied the Gingerbread Oreos on an end cap, and I knew I had to grab a pack to take home. Then I saw a pack of the cutest gingerbread men icing decorations from Wilton, and the wheels began to turn very quickly. 

Why not make a fudge chock full of my favorite Christmas flavor & decorate it with these tiny gingerbread men?

Cookie Butter Pecan Fudge

With just 3 simple ingredients, this buttery & rich Cookie Butter Pecan Fudge is going to quickly become your new go-to holiday fudge recipe...

It's December, folks and that means one thing- the holiday season is upon us, you all. When I think of the holidays, my mind naturally turns to the tastes and flavors of the season. Frosted sugar cookies, gingerbread, hot cocoa, and of course, fudge. 

I mean, homemade fudge cut into perfect little squares tucked away into tins is just classic Christmas to me. My mother is the fudge maker in our family. 

She always whips up a batch of peanut butter and then a batch of chocolate fudge with walnuts almost every single December. She makes it from scratch and gets it perfect just about every single time. 

Me? Not so much. I was not blessed with her fudge making skills. ;)

But I discovered one secret ingredient last year that helped me finally overcome my fudge making handicap- a tub of store-bought frosting. 

Yes, some may call it cheating, but I just like to call it genius and pretty much foolproof. It has allowed me to finally make a delicious contribution to the family holiday fudge making each December.

I let my mama handle the classic fudges while I branch out and experiment with new flavors using my easy method for making fudge. My latest fudge creation is buttery and rich, made with creamy cookie butter and crunchy pecans. A perfectly decadent & easy to make treat for the holidays...

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...
