2 Minute Fudge

Here in Kathey Jo’s Kitchen, my husband Rob and I know the appeal of fudge. Particularly around the Holidays, when sweet treats are in demand, you’ll want something you can share with friends and family. These times can be understandably hectic, and that’s why people often look for easy but effective recipes. I’m here to tell you more about what this could mean for you and those you choose to share the season with.

As the name implies, you only need a couple of minutes to prep this delicious fudge, and once it’s been microwaved, you need only about half an hour to refrigerate it. Do you want to give yourself and your guests something delicious and filling, yet still simple and fast enough to prepare that anyone can make it. Lovers of chocolate and sweets will be in for the ideal treat this Holiday!
