Homemade Chocolate Fudge is a perfect treat for this time of year. I know there are a million and one recipes out there that are fancy and maybe even complicated. This version is super creamy and really easy to create. Full of chocolate flavor we all love during the holidays.
Sometimes it’s just nice to keep it simple and classic. Another easy recipe that would be perfect along side this is my Christmas Magic Cookie Bars. These could even be cut down to bite size and you could gift a little taster box to your friends and neighbors. You could also make this Christmas Tree Cheese and Cracker Tray for any gathering. Speaking of gatherings, you need to add this Christmas Punch to your holiday menu! It’s one of our family’s favorites!
Christmas Chocolate Fudge
Some years it doesn’t seem like Christmas unless I make one at least batch of this recipe. My oldest son is wanting to learn how to make this and then will be in charge of keeping up the chocolate tradition! It’s definitely a favorite of his.
It’s all made in one pot on the stove. The hardest part of the whole recipe is standing there stirring the majority of the time. This is one recipe that needs a constant eye so you can prevent it from scorching. I promise it worth the time!
