It’s the holidays so I decided to make fudge. I think I have made fudge one time in my life and it was nothing spectacular so this time my goal was to make some spectacular fudge. Since I love pecans and gooey marshmallows and since it was the holidays, I decided that I would make Peppermint Rocky Road Fudge.
The great thing about making fudge is that it is super easy to make and you can get creative with it, but what you have to remember about making fudge is that it needs to be babysat while you cook it. When you cook fudge you can’t walk away from it or it will burn and all of that amazing chocolate will be ruined.

Oh my, peppermint and fudge combined sounds heavenly. I am going to try and make this for me and not the kids. They won’t get a single bite. 🙂
This fudge looks yummy. I know to well the fact that you can’t leave fudge unattended I have burnt many a batch.
My mouth is watering. I wish my family liked peppermint, I would try to make this in a heartbeat!
Wow this looks so good. My son would love to eat these. I would have to hide them because he would certainly eat them all when i wasn’t looking.
