Hot Cocoa Fudge – The easiest fudge recipe ever! Made with just 7 simple ingredients, this no bake fudge recipe is filled with all of your favorite hot cocoa flavors and it’s so delicious!
Hot Cocoa Fudge
This hot cocoa fudge is absolutely AMAZING! There are basically two schools of thought behind homemade fudge – sweetened condensed milk or cooking the sugar, cream, and butter. This recipe goes the first route which makes the recipe that much easier. Instead, we just mix the ingredients together in a pan and cook until smooth.
Another important part of this recipe is that you refrigerate the fudge until it is fully set. If you start cutting it before it is set, it will still be kind of squishy and it won’t cut nicely. Don’t be impatient! It will just look a whole lot nicer if you just wait about 3-4 hours until the fudge sets before digging into it.
