Gingerbread Fudge
Although I’ve barely bought any Christmas presents, we are totally in the Christmas spirit in my house. We went and bought our tree this weekend and it’s the first live tree I’ve had maybe since I was a baby. Growing up, my brother is really allergic to real trees so we’ve always had artificial trees. It’s weird seeing a real tree in my house, but I have to admit that I love that fresh pine smell!
You know what makes for the perfect holiday gift? Fudge! Seriously, it’s so simple to make, but it’s always one of those gifts that everybody loves and seems so impressive.
I love all things gingerbread and had a hankering to make some fudge so I did a quick internet search and found a lot of the recipes didn’t include molasses. What’s the deal, yo?! Molasses is what makes gingerbread…gingerbread! Well, that and ginger, of course. I finally tracked down a recipe, made a few very minor tweaks, and wow, is it good! This fudge really tastes like gingerbread cookie dough.
It’s rich and decadent and full of gingerbread flavors. The fudge is also incredibly easy to make. I had it done and ready to set in the fridge in under 15 minutes. Top with some cute sprinkles and package it up in a cute box or tin, and you’ve got the perfect little gift for neighbors, teachers, etc..
