12 Days of Fudge: Day 6 – Heath Bar Fudge
I have seen a variation of this fudge on many sites, and was not sure what to think about it. It takes only two ingredients to make the fudge and an optional one to enhance the flavor. I honestly think this has to be a no-fail fudge, so if you are scared of fudge try this one.
This is my son’s favorite fudge so far out of all the different ones I’ve made so far. I hope you find it as tasty and easy as we did.
Heath Bar Fudge
yield 24 pieces
printable recipe
1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
1 can vanilla frosting
1 pkg heath bar pieces
1.) Line a 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper.
2.) Melt the chocolate and frosting over medium heat until smooth; stir continuously.
3.) Fold in the heath bar pieces.
4.) Spread fudge into prepared pan.
5.) Place into refrigerator to set-up at least 2 hours. Cut into bite size pieces.
I think you could probably use any kind of candy in this fudge and you could also use milk chocolate pieces and chocolate frosting if you chose.

12 Days of Fudge: Day 5 – Eggnog Fudge
I have fallen behind with my 12 Days of Fudge but I won’t let that stop me. I just might have to post some fudge recipes after Christmas; we need goodies for New Year’s Eve, too.
This next fudge is one I did last year and it was very good. If you like eggnog and you like fudge you will LOVE this fudge. Enjoy!
Eggnog Fudge
yield 64 pieces
printable recipe
As I always say gather your ingredients first, and with fudge that is of most importance to get it just right. Don’t just have them handy, have them measured and ready to pour.
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. eggnog
10.5 oz white chocolate chips
1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg (grated a bit extra for sprinkling)
7 oz. marshmallow creme
1 tsp rum extract (or rum)
1) Line a square ( 8 x 8 ) baking pan with foil, and then butter the foil. Sprinkle a little of your nutmeg in the pan.
2) In a heavy saucepan combine your sugar, butter and eggnog. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil 8 to 10 minutes over medium heat – STIRRING CONSTANTLY. If you stop stirring it could scorch the candy. Remove from heat.
3) Quickly add in your white chocolate and nutmeg, stir with a wooden spoon until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
4) Stir in marshmallow creme and rum extract. Beat until well blended and then pour into your prepared pan, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
5) Let cool completely – either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. After it is cooled invert onto a cutting board, score the fudge, and then cut into 1 inch pieces. It should yield approximately 64 one inch pieces of fudge.
These would be great put in a pretty box and given as gifts.

12 Days of Fudge: Day 4 – Key Lime Fudge
A few weeks ago when I decided to make fudge for Christmas I began looking for unusual fudge, and I stumbled upon this fudge over at Shugary Sweets where I found Aimee has a real knack for fudge making. I must say I was not so sure what I thought about the idea of Key Lime Fudge, but once I tasted it I was sold. So please don’t discard it because of the name – give it a try, you’ll be surprised.
Key Lime Fudge
yield 24 servings
printable recipe
2 bags (12 oz each) white chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
5 whole key limes, zested and juiced
1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs.
1.) Line a 13 x 9 pan with parchment paper
2.) Zest and juice your limes
3.) Melt chocolate with sweetened condensed milk on low heat until smooth.
4.) Whisk in lime juice and zest.
5.) Pour fudge into prepared pan and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
6.) Put in refrigerator to set-up, approximately 4 hours or overnight.

12 Days of Fudge – Day 3: A Family Favorite, Oatmeal Fudge
Now I will be the first to admit this is not the creamy fudge everyone is used to, but when I married my husband he said his favorite dessert was oatmeal fudge. So I decided to make it for him, and I have made it for him again, and again, and again for the last 15 years, and it is still one of his favorite desserts.
When I make Oatmeal Fudge for him I drop it cookie like on parchment paper, however, it can be spread into a one sheet and cut into squares like traditional fudge. I hope you enjoy the recipe and it can become a family favorite.
Oatmeal Fudge
printable recipe
As I state in all of my recipes – gather your ingredients first, it makes things so much easier.
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup peanut butter
3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
3 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
1.) Melt your butter, combine in sugar and milk and bring to a boil. Boil for one minute and then remove from the heat.
2.) Add in the remaining ingredients and stir until well mixed together.
3.) Drop by spoonfuls on parchment paper or spread out in a single layer. However, if you want to do something special you can spray a silicon cookie mold with non-stick spray and fill with the oatmeal fudge. Put cookie sheet or molds into refrigerator to set.
Enjoy!! And remember… the calories don’t count until AFTER Christmas~!

12 Days of Fudge – Day 2: Mint Oreo Fudge
Until I started blogging I did not make fudge or bake for the holidays. Not because it didn’t sound good, not because I couldn’t, but mainly because I knew we didn’t need all of those sugary treats, however, now I do make fudge and bake and I give it away as Christmas presents. I hope my family and friends like to eat because they are getting fudge this year.
Today is day 2 of my 12 Days of Fudge and I am hoping that I get 12 days up before Christmas. Last week I made four different types of fudge in my quest for my first day of fudge and the Crazy Cooking Challenge I participated in, and all but one were fantastic. I found this wonderful blog called Shugary Sweets and the writer, Aimee, has a knack for the sweet things. I would highly recommend checking out her blog. You will find a couple of my fudge recipes are adapted from her site because my thinking is – why invent the wheel if someone already has a good thing going, and she does.
Mint Oreo Fudge
3 c. white chocolate chips
7 oz. marshmallow fluff
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
20 Mint Oreo cookies, crushed
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
1.) Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper.
2.) In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate, marshmallow fluff and sweetened condensed milk over medium heat; stirring continuously.
3.) Once the chocolate is smooth, remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract.
4.) Gently fold in the Oreo cookies until fully incorporated.
5.) Pour the fudge into your pan and spread out to all sides. Place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours until firm.
6.) Cut into bite size pieces and enjoy!
I recommend keeping your fudge in the refrigerator, it tastes good and keeps longer.
This recipe was an adaption of Cookies and Cream Fudge from Shugary Sweets.

12 Days of Fudge: Root Beer Float Fudge
Last year as a new blogger I decided to challenge myself with 12 Days of Christmas Goodies, and I must say that was one of the funnest things I have done as a blogger. So this year, after deciding to join the Crazy Cooking Challenge which challenged us to find a wonderful fudge recipe and share it, I decided to do the 12 Days of Fudge, simply because there is so much that you can do with fudge. I hope you enjoy the fudge recipes that will be posted between now and Christmas Eve. I won’t be posting them consecutively because we couldn’t handle the sugar overload, look for them every other day or so.
As I mentioned above I am participating in a cooking challenge. What we had to do was find a recipe for fudge from another blogger, and all I can say is there are a lot of awesome fudge recipes out there. For this challenge I chose to make Root Beer Float Fudge featured on Shugary Sweet’s blog. It was a huge hit at my house and has thoroughly helped with my latest pregnancy craving – root beer. I hope you guys enjoy it as much.
Root Beer Float Fudge
yield 36 pieces
printable recipe
As I always say, especially in candy making, gather all of your ingredients ahead of time. With making fudge this could mean the difference between success and failure.
3 c. sugar
3/4 c. unsalted butter
1 c. heavy whipping cream
3 c. white chocolate morsels
1 1/2 c. marshmallow cream
3 tsp. root beer concentrate
1.) Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper; set aside.
2.) In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar, butter, and cream over medium heat, stirring until combined. Bring to a boil and stir continuously for 4 minutes.
3.) Remove the pan from heat; and quickly stir in the white chocolate and marshmallow cream. Whisk until smooth.
4.) Pour half of the mixture into your prepared pan.
5.) Add your root beer concentrate to the remaining fudge; stir until combined.
6.) Pour root beer flavored fudge over the white chocolate fudge. Using a knife, swirl together for a marbled effect.
7.) Place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours. After the fudge has set up, cut it into bite size pieces and store in an airtight container.
I hope you enjoy all of the other fudge recipes submitted during this month’s crazy cooking challenge. Make sure and vote for your favorite fudge recipe.

Wordless Wednesday – Is That A Rockstar?
This is by far the best picture of my son in action. He is playing drums for the worship service for our 5th and 6th graders at our church. He absolutely loves music, and plays several instruments.
P.S. If you notice the reflection that seems to be in the center of the picture that is because he is behind glass. He is playing inside a Phoenix Curve, which is a drum shield. He was excited to get to play inside this drum shield because it is his dad’s company that designed and made the shield. He has helped his dad many times with shield orders, so to finally play in one for a real service was the ultimate cool.
