15 Homemade Christmas Fudge Recipes: Festive and Fabulous DIY Fudge for Holiday Gifting!
Finally…Christmas time is approaching and with it, the opportunity to pull out those Christmas fudge recipes and get busy in the kitchen. Better yet, Christmas Fudge can be gobbled nibbled delicately without the usual guilt, am I right?!!
Not to mention I have it on good authority that Santa would love a little plate of these spectacular festive fudge treats as a break from the usual gingerbread on Christmas Eve! 🙂
The perfect fancy-schmancy Christmas gift from the kitchen for that amateur chef friend with the discriminating taste. You will be amazed how simple this little fudge recipe is, in spite of how glamorous it is!

 2. Holly Fudge – Mr. Food
This sweet little Christmas fudge uses red and green cherries for that Christmas look, but you can just as easily use gum-drops or jellies for a similar look. And hey…I wonder how it would work out with holiday M&Ms! I think I might just need to put that one to the test!!!

3. Eggnog Fudge with Dark Chocolate Ganache – Rook No. 17
Eggnog. Fudge. Dark Chocolate. Those three things in one sentence, never mind one recipe, is enough to push me over the edge! I absolutely cannot wait to try this one! Even the Littlest Helper (who thinks eggnog is disgusting) thinks this fudge looks pretty amazing!

 One of my favorite guilty pleasures at Christmas is pecan pie (preferably chocolate, but hey…I’ll take it any way I can get it!). Flipping that favorite into a fudge? Simply divine!

 5. Chocolate-Dipped Orange Cream Fudge – Kitchen Kneads
I have a confession to make (and I really hope my mom Santa isn’t reading this post!) You know those chocolate oranges? One appeared in my Christmas stocking more times than I can count. And I was NEVER happy to see it there – ever. Of course, being the little chocolate addict that I am, I slowly made my way through it, despite not truly enjoying the experience. Now that I am a little (okay, a lot) older, I have to admit they have grown on me. Enough that this fudge recipe actually appeals to me, and not just because it’s pretty!

 I truly couldn’t decide which of these gingerbread fudge recipes to share, so I included them both. After all, one is big and one is small, so very different indeed, don’t you agree?
