Are you thinking that making fudge is just too difficult?
Maybe it’s the required candy thermometer that puts you off.
It is a small although necessary purchase since you will use it time and again to make this awesome Chocolate Mint Fudge
Once you see how easy it really is and taste how awesome this fudge can be!
Making homemade chocolate mint fudge can be done in less than a half an hour.
It’s the cooling that takes the longest!
However because I decided to make a two layer chocolate mint fudge the process took slightly longer.
