The Joy of Fudge!! What is your favorite holiday gift to give? Year
after year, my favorite is fudge. Soft, creamy, sweet, chocolatey, and
sometimes with a crunch, fudge is a timeless and delicious holiday
favorite. There’s classic fudge, simple fudge, microwave fudge, peanut
butter-chocolate fudge, easy white fudge, easy chocolate fudge, and my
personal favorite, butterscotch fudge. Fudge makes the perfect gift to
bring to the hostess of any holiday party, the ideal treat to share at
potlucks and office get-togethers, and a great way to remember to the
neighbors. It’s always the right color, the right size, the right price,
and it fits every menu. The perfect container to store and present this
delicious confection is the cheerful holiday tin. This time of year,
holiday tins are abundant and inexpensive . They come in several
different sizes, a variety of holiday colors, and celebrate all
denominations of holidays. These cute little devils line at least one
store shelf at your local Target, Walmart, Kmart, grocery store, variety
store, and dollar store, and are even available on Amazon! (I love
Amazon!!) The Dollar Tree happens to be my favorite place to obtain
these colorful metal treasures. And, get this! I can buy my favorite
sizes at the reasonable price of two for a dollar! Why is the cost of
these tins important to me? Because I make and give away about fifty
pounds of fudge every year. Fifty pounds of fudge fills a lot of tins.
The very best thing about this creamy confection is that everyone
absolutely loves it, and none of it goes to waste. Seriously! How did I
arrive at this very bold conclusion? Easy! You can tell fudge is a
holiday favorite by how quickly it vanishes from a freshly opened tin.
Just like magic! With Thanksgiving lurking just around the corner, the
calendar is telling me it’s time to pull out my heavy sauce pan, line my
cookie sheets with buttered foil, and buy all of the ingredients. So,
how do I unwind after a busy weekend of creating candy? I park myself in
front of the fireplace with a hot cup of coffee and the fudge scrapings
from my sauce pan, of course! Happiest holidays to you and yours! Thank
