The fudge is so pretty! I love how you photographed it on a mirror! I am going to have to make this and see if it tastes as good as it looks! Thanks!
ok i definitely want to make this. I've ruined a few fudge recipes in the last few weeks, but this looks like one I could handle! I'm saving it for next year :)
Super yummy! I love peppermint and chocolate together.
