Since I was a child, I’ve always associated fudge with times of celebration. My mum absolutely loved rum and raisin fudge. We would always buy some for her on her birthdays and at Christmas, and she would always treat herself to some whenever we went on vacation. At the time, I couldn’t see the fascination – as a child rum and raisin was a bit too strong for me! But, as I’ve got older, I’ve grown to love fudge and find myself hunting it out during the festive season.
More recently, I’ve enjoyed making my own fudge and gifting it to members of our family. Fudge is so easy to make and it looks incredible wrapped in a clear bag and tied together with festive ribbon.
I’ve got 22 Christmas Fudge recipes to share that I think you’ll love. Whether you choose to gift them to your loved ones or just enjoy them yourselves – there is definitely a recipe here that you’ll enjoy.
