If you’ve noticed posts in the past I do have an affinity for salted caramel anything, so how could I turn down the challenge of salted caramel fudge, and let me tell you – IT WAS A CHALLENGE.
If you have ever done anything that entails making your own caramel then you understand that it is a daunting and sometimes unsuccessful task. This Salted Caramel Fudge barely made it out alive and it was all simply because of user error. On the upside it was a very tasty fudge.
