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...

Today's post is for the last-minute holiday fudge maker. For the person who just can't seem to ever get fudge to set right (this is SO me, by the way)- it either doesn't set up at all or it ends up being dry and crumbly. 








This post is for the Christmas procrastinator... the mama (or dad) short on time this Christmas weekend... the wife who just now found out that her husband needs to bring in a dessert for the office holiday party... the person who always craves fudge during the holiday season, but doesn't want to mess with a double boiler and a candy thermometer.

So whip up a batch of one of these 10 Easy Microwave Fudge Recipes this weekend & put the time that you will save towards the tedious task of wrapping those oddly shaped boxes that toy manufacturers insist on packaging every. single. toy. in instead. ;) (Yes.

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?
