For most of my adult life, I have been the Christmas cookie baker for all our get-togethers. I adore making batch after batch of cookies and candies to share with the people I love most. In the years before COVID, I would also bring a huge cookie tray to school to share with all my students. I mean, I said I want to share with the people I love, right? These cookie trays ALWAYS have a selection of this homemade quick fudge and it is loved by everyone.
Everyone so much, in fact, that even my nephew (at the age of maybe 10) asked me to teach him how to make his own batch. It’s that good. And did I mention how easy it is? It mixes up in minutes flat and chills quickly. Better yet, you can add any sort of mix-ins you want. Want nuts? Put them in. Love coconut and almonds? Toast them up.
Whatever flavor you dig, this homemade quick fudge will be sure to bring extra delight to your holiday treat display. Let’s get started!
