Oh Fudge

Only I didn't say fudge... we made some! Yes, real fudge - not that quick fudge-like stuff floating around Pinterest these days that's nothing more than melted chocolate chips and condensed milk. No, I'm talking the real stuff here. And it's Alton Brown's recipe, so you know it's good.

We wanted to give something to our families for Christmas, and we've been meaning to try our hands at fudge making for a few years, so why not combine the two? We ended up making twenty batches of Alton's recipe in order to make enough to give to all our extended family. That's a lot of fudge! But we've got a lot of family, and what better way to spread Christmas cheer (other than singing)?

We had two double batches going at once here

We formed the fudge in pans and then cut it into blocks

The blocks were then wrapped in plastic before being packed in these little bags

It was a lot of work, but it was also pretty fun. And hopefully this inspires you to try your hand at something new. Thanks for reading and, even after all this time, we'll be back before too long with more lovely posts!
