This is one of my favorite sweets! My mom always made it growing up and it is super easy. I always end up making this early in December and cut squares to give as presents. Whatever doesn’t get eaten during Christmas gets put into the freezer. If you cover with wax paper, this keeps very well.
This was an easy homemade Christmas gift to add to my Freezer Cooking Day, see my posts here, here and here. Who doesn’t like Fudge?
