12 Days of Fudge: Day 9 – Candy Cane Fudge

When I think of Christmas treats I think of candy canes. So of course Candy Cane Fudge is a must. Also, I absolutely love peppermint, which is another reason I wanted to try to make Candy Cane Fudge.

I hope you enjoy this pretty, light pepperminty fudge. It was easy to make and yummy to boot.
