Welcome To Day 1 Of “25 Days Of Christmas Sweet Treats”!
Last year I did “25 Days Of Christmas Cookies“. Please click the link to find all those wonderful recipes and please check back here every day for Christmas Sweet Treats all the way up until Christmas Day!
It’s already December!! Can you believe it? I can not, time has flown by so quickly. I hope this month slows down just a bit so I can really enjoy the Christmas Season.
Are you ready for Christmas? The inside and outside of my home is all beautifully decorated but we do not have our Christmas Tree as of yet, live ones get shipped from the US to us here in Japan and it seems the trees are currently stuck in Customs! This is the first year in many, well…since before I was married that our Christmas Tree has not gone up Thanksgiving weekend.
Who likes fudge? This is a delicious, easy and very Christmassy fudge. I will state that I purchased a box of the 60 mini candy canes and crushed them all. I reserved some back to sprinkle on top, the rest was folded in with the chocolate. This fudge will please just about everyone.
Merry Christmas!!
