While I've never met a piece of fudge I didn't like, I think these ten fudge recipes have something extra special. From peanut butter to lemon to rocky road, each unique and delicious recipe showcases the versatility of fudge.
1. German Chocolate Fudge
These gooey, delicious bars are a cross between fudge, cake and truffles. Real chocolate cake is mixed into a chocolate ganache base, topped with rich chocolate-pecan frosting, and finished with silky ganache. They're so elegant, they could easily be served as dessert at a fancy party.
2. Raspberry Fudge
A rich, truffle-like fudge is topped by a silky layer of raspberry and white chocolate. The contrast of flavors and textures between the two layers makes this fudge truly outstanding.
3. Striped Butterscotch Fudge
Alternating layers of butterscotch and chocolate fudge give this easy fudge recipe a fun appearance and delicious taste. If you want a very whimsical appearance (and extra-indulgent taste) you can create six or even eight striped layers with this recipe.
4. Rocky Road Fudge
Rocky Road Fudge is a smooth chocolate fudge packed with crunchy nuts and sweet, chewy marshmallows. This recipe works with any type of nuts, so you can customize it and use your favorite nuts to suit your taste.
5. Peanut Butter Fudge
Peanut butter is the star ingredient in this five-star rated recipe for easy, chocolate-free fudge. Try using chunky peanut butter if you’d like an extra crunch.
6. Andes Mint Fudge
This chocolate-mint fudge has two layers of minty goodness: the bottom layer is flavored with Andes mints, while the cream cheese top layer is scented with mint extract. The combination of rich chocolate and cooling, invigorating mint is addicting.
7. Cookies and Cream Fudge
This fudge combines the great taste of Oreo cookies with a creamy white chocolate fudge base. You can mix it up and add different flavors of Oreos (mint, peanut butter, etc) to make this fudge really extraordinary.
8. Lemon Fudge
Lemon fudge combines a silky smooth white chocolate fudge with the vibrant taste of tart lemons. This refreshing candy has just the right combination of sweet and sour flavors.
9. Chocolate Elvis Fudge
This fudge is named after The King's favorite sandwich combo: peanut butter and banana. I've added an additional layer of chocolate fudge to form an outrageously decadent tri-layer treat.
10. Easy Walnut Fudge
The plain name of this fudge belies its fabulous taste. The ingredients and procedure are simple, but the final taste is rich and complex. This is my favorite fudge to give as holiday gifts and to make anytime my friends or family need a little pick-me-up.
