This Candy Cane Fudge Recipe brings me back to my childhood memories. These are great snacks and easy to make!

Candy Cane Fudge Recipe

This simple chocolate fudge is creamy and delicious! You’ll love the rich chocolate with the peppermint of the candy cane topping. When I think of making fudge or other homemade candy I think of my mother spending hours at the stove with extremely hot sugar and her always being worried about it being too hot for me to help.

Recently, I made a batch of old-fashioned fudge and found myself with the same worries of my young children being in the kitchen. That’s when I started looking for a Chocolate Fudge recipe that would be easier to make. You are not going to believe how simple it is to make this!
