‘Tis the season for cookie baking and fudge making – try a few of our favorite Christmas fudge recipes this holiday season!

Each year my mom, aunts, cousins and I would assemble for an entire weekend of measuring, sifting, baking and frosting to our hearts’ content.
Making our favorite Christmas fudge recipes was always one of my favorite parts of preparing for the holidays, which is why I love a good fudge to this day.
