It’s been too long since I’ve made a new fudge recipe, much too long. Fudge, healthy fudge for that matter, should really be a monthly thing. Don’t you agree?? In the past I’ve made peach fudge, pumpkin fudge, gingerbread fudge, Eatmore fudge, even chocolate orange fudge…I’m a pretty big fudge fan to say the least.
