Candy Corn Fudge is a fun fall treat with a no fail fudge recipe behind it. This is a kid friendly project that adults will also enjoy.
My dear friend, Katie, absolutely LOVES candy corn. I usually end up buying it when I’m thinking of her. I love candy corn too but it is so sweet I like to eat it along with something that has a different flavor, usually something chocolate.
This fall it dawned on me that candy corn fudge is the perfect solution! It’s like a little square of fall perfection. This is a riff on my easy fudge recipe. I hope you enjoy whipping up a quick batch for your friends. Maybe I should mail some to Katie!
