Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge
Color me crazy for not realizing how easy it was to make homemade fudge! I’m a sweets girl, so naturally, fudge is one of my favorite treats. I don’t eat it very often because in my area it’s usually only sold seasonally— with the exception of theme parks, which I don’t get to as often as I’d like.
Needless to say, when I found out that fudge was made with a few simple ingredients, I was determined to make my own. Here’s an easy Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge Recipe to get you started on your homemade fudge journey… hopefully this is the first of many fudge recipes on MommyMusings.com!
