Why I Love This Recipe

It is pretty and festive for your holiday celebration.

It’s a family-approved recipe that comes together quickly.

You can make it ahead of time.

It is so easy to make!

It is delicious!

Can it Be Made Ahead of Time

Yes, it sure can! It will wait patiently in the refrigerator or in the freezer.

Can This Be Frozen

Yes! Fudge freezes well.

Just put it in an airtight container; some plastic wrap around it inside for extra protection is great, and put it in the freezer.

I have frozen it for a few weeks ahead and it tastes fresh for the holidays and when we had leftovers, I have frozen it for even a few months after.

Instant coffee granules; this enhances the chocolate flavor

Vanilla extract

Salt

Red sugar for garnish, optional; this isn’t necessary but does make it pretty.
