To me, nothing quite says it’s the holidays like fudge. Soft, dense, sweet squares infused with cool and refreshing peppermint make for a classic holiday treat loved by young and old alike.
This fudge recipe is easier than traditional fudge as it requires no candy thermometer. Simply melt the cocoa butter, and whisk in other ingredients!
Since this recipe is so simple, it’s a great one to have kids help with and make some holiday memories together.
I like to use artisana raw cashew butter as it is very smooth and only contains raw cashews. Be sure the cashew butter you get doesn’t have refined oils (canola ect.) or additives to it. Need to make your own cashew butter? No sweat, click here and scroll down to the third paragraph.
Go ahead and bookmark this one! Your friends and family will be asking for this recipe after trying this fudge. Happy Holidays everyone!
