We love fudge. Has something to do with being a Michigan Girl. I remember my uncle bringing fudge home from one of the factories he worked at up on Macanac Island. The best fudge ever.
Sadly I have never had the opportunity to visit the island myself and hope to take my children on a field trip that way sometimes. In the meantime, we are forced to endure homemade fudge in all of the flavors I can concoct… Like my Espresso Fudge. Mmhhmmm
This simple Andes Mint fudge has that creamy texture I love with that fresh mint flavor any fan of Italian cuisine has grown to love. And it takes next to no time to make. Whether you want to indulge in this fudge after a long hard day or make as the perfect homemade gift for loved ones this fudge.
What you need for DIY Andes Mint Fudge

How to make your own DIY Andes Mint Fudge
