One of my loveliest memories of childhood is my grandpa making Christmas fudge.

He barely stepped inside the kitchen when I was a kid.

But fudge was his thing.

And he made it with such care and such love.

And fudge is still a special part of Christmas for me.

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without it.

And we always give it as gifts to friends.

But unfortunately, I didn’t inherit my grandpa’s skill at fudge making.

And my Christmas fudge involves the microwave.

Grandpa would be horrified. But you know what?

Microwave fudge IS good. And easier for kids to help with.

And there are all sorts of easy ways you can make your Christmas fudge even more scrummy.

These are some of our faves.
