Chocolate Fudge

This creamy chocolate fudge is seriously beyond easy. I have had this recipe for forever and it never fails to create a simple and delicious holiday treat.

I know that this recipe would be really easy to enhance, like with walnuts or peppermint and candycanes, or coconut, or cognac. But the purist in me is having an unusual moment in the spotlight. I’m just keeping the flavor plain old delicious chocolate fudge. However, I do like to dress it up by using really good quality dark chocolate (72% cocoa.)

Chocolate Fudge

By nestling the small pieces in lovely little foil cups that make them feel like little jewels. I also like to place a single little silver dragee (or gold) on the top of each piece.

Then I will put a bunch of the fudge pieces in a tin, and they have the same effect as truffles!

Chocolate Fudge

These make a really pretty gift, or are lovely to cluster in a dish for your next Holiday gathering!
