Fun and delicious Gingerbread Fudge is perfect for the holidays

Today is Day 5 of my 12 Days of Christmas and I’m sharing a super simple fudge recipe!    Fudge is one of my favorite things to make during the holiday season because it’ great to have on hand when people stop over but it’s also something that can be packaged and given as a gift!   While traditional chocolate fudge is always a favorite, I thought this Gingerbread Fudge was a little more seasonal.

The gingerbread flavor of the fudge comes from brown sugar, crystallized ginger, and molasses.  It smells amazing as it is cooking.   Then white chocolate and marshmallow creme is added to thicken the fudge and allow it to harden into the proper consistency.

I topped my fudge off with red and green sprinkles for Christmas.   I also added some chopped crystallized ginger on top to give it some added flavor.   The fudge tasted wonderful and the colored sprinkles made it look great too!   I’d be proud to give this fudge to anyone at the holidays.
