Oh, fudge.
The only time of year I ever really think about fudge is when I'm on vacation. And they're selling it in the touristy candy shops. For like $2391/lb.
And when I'm there, it sounds sooooo good. Like Igottahaveitrightnow. But it never quite lives up to the expectation. Sickeningly sweet, hard as a rock, you know how it goes.
I've never made homemade fudge before, but this Cappuccino Fudge is way better than any fudge I've had on vacation. It's very chocolatey, with just a hint of coffee flavor. The texture is spot-on, perfect to sink your teeth into.
I found the recipe over at Annie's Eats... I don't think I've ever found a recipe I didn't like over there. If you haven't checked out her site, you might want to do that soon. Just sayin'.
What a wonderful gift for a teacher this would make! (Hehe...) Or anybody else special in your life. Who wouldn't love a tin of homemade fudge?
