I’m sure by now that you have noticed a theme with my holiday baking. . .easy. I like to make holiday recipes that are easy.

While I actually enjoy spending time in the kitchen, I enjoy spending time with my family more.

So, when it comes to holiday baking, I want to minimize the time spent in the kitchen so that I can fully enjoy time with loved ones.

Quick and Easy Vanilla Fudge Recipe from A Kitchen Addiction

Hence all of the “quick” and “easy” recipes that I have been posting lately! I want all of you to be able to spend as much time as possible with your friends and family.

This quick and easy vanilla fudge allows you to do just that.

The base of this vanilla fudge is actually the base of my peanut butter fudge that I posted a few weeks ago. It’s super versatile and can be “fancied up” with your choice of sprinkles or candies.

A few notes: Be sure to line the pan with foil. . .it will stick! Make sure to stir the mixture continually while it’s boiling. . .you don’t want brown flecks in your white fudge!

Make this. . .if you have never made fudge before, this is your time to start! 🙂
