For three weeks after Christmas I didn’t make a single sweet. This is super out of character for me but I just wasn’t feeling it.. I felt like from September through December I had been making sweets almost every weekend for different themed weeks and I was a little over it.
I’ll be honest, I actually wasn’t planning on making anything three weeks after Christmas either but my parents were supposed to come down and visit but we ended up getting 6 inches of snow so they couldn’t come. J was up super early so I knew he was going to take a decent nap. Looking through my blog I realized I needed to make several things for both Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day so as soon as I got him down for his nap I got to work.
I didn’t feel like making anything too complicated so I turned to making fudge. Fudge is so easy to make and the flavors are endless. I actually found a recipe that used cake batter which I thought was fun. It had sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, cake batter mix, and sprinkles. Looking through my cupboard I found a few Valentine’s Day sprinkles but I’m really glad I just ordered some more from Sprinkle Pop because I’m almost out!
Making this was super easy. It took about 5 minutes plus a few hours for the fudge to set. I sprinkled the Valentine’s Day sprinkles in the fudge and on top of it. Once it had hardened I cut it into pieces and gave it a taste. It was super rich and creamy and tasted faintly of cake batter. I liked how pretty it was with the sprinkles throughout the fudge and on top. Plus, this fudge would be easy to customize to any holiday using different sprinkles.

Yes, I was a little sweeted out after the holidays too!. But really, I’ve got to get back to making fudge. I used to have so much fun doing it. This is inspirational!
I actually got a cake mix at the store when I saw your post on Facebook earlier. This is a way for me to eat cake mix without being judged… too much. haha!
I haven’t been making sweets at all either! Thank goodness for nap time and easy peasy recipes. These sound terrific.
I’m sad to say that I’ve never even thought to use a cake mix when making fudge! I love it….brilliant and yummy
I always have yellow cake mix on hand! This is such a festive treat with those cute sprinkles.
Perfect recipe Heather. Easy, peasy and delicious. I sugared out as well, that’s why I went with a cocktail this time around.
