True Story: One holiday season a few years back, I made 23 different kinds of cookies and candies. I used them to assemble fabulous platters to gift to friends and neighbors. Everyone seemed to admire my willingness to go all-out and make homemade sweets, and I loved taking in the joy on people’s faces when they received their gift platters. It’s looking like that scenario may just happen again this year. I’m on the hunt for easy sweets to include on those gift platters. This recipe for Candy Cane Fudge is the first holiday sweet treat I’ve made this season. There are many more to come! Do you have these Candy Cane Kisses in your life? If not, then you need to resolve that pronto. They are SOOOO good. They’re addicting-good. I’ve spotted them at drugstores and at Target too. If you buy the “family size” bag of them at Target, you’ll have enough for this recipe. And you’ll probably want to buy more than that since they’re kind of fun to have around for munching too.
The fudge is super simple to make. It only has 4 ingredients, and you don’t need to use a candy thermometer or anything crazy like that. Just heat the ingredients together, pour the fudge into a pan, chill and cut. EASY.
And I’d say it makes for a very pretty piece of fudge. It’s creamy and soft and delicious. I can’t wait to add these to my holiday platters this year (they are currently in my freezer… where they are HOPEFULLY safe from people who often crave sweets in my house!) Happy holiday baking and making! Let me know what’s on your list to make this year 🙂
