Wondering what to do with all that leftover candy? My solution: make fudge.

The boys did quite well on Halloween. That was after our neighbor dropped by with what would be considered a pretty good haul for both of the boys because she was going to her friends house. Snickers, Milky Ways, Reese’s, you name it. All the good stuff.

I jokingly snatched the two bags and was like great, these are mine. Then, not so jokingly, made fudge with their candy while they were at school.

Good news – they loved it!

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

And seriously, how could you not? The peanut butter base to this fudge pairs perfectly with all kinds of candy. I used M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, Snickers, Reese’s, and Milky Ways.

I made the second easiest kind of fudge (the first being sweetened condensed milk + chocolate chips). I find the marshmallow creme version so much creamier and more candy shop fudge like. In fact, this batch of fudge just made it to number one on my list of favorite fudges.

You would think that this fudge would be overpoweringly sweet but somehow the peanut butter mellows it out quite a bit. Still, a small piece does quite a nice job of satisfying my sweet tooth.

This fudge would be absolutely adorable on your Christmas cookie trays. Just use Christmas colored M&Ms for a festive look!

    Your fudge looks perfect! Mine never comes out as pretty (tasty, but not attractive). I think I might attempt to make some in December and use green and red M&Ms like you said. Wonderful and festive idea!

      This one is pretty easy to make pretty Sarah. Just wait a few minutes after you pour it and then stick some of the candies in the top. You’ll love it!

    I’m wondering if you prefer this fudge or the EASY Reese’s fudge?

      Oh Bryn! Good question 🙂 I think this fudge is slightly better than the Reese’s fudge but it does take a few more ingredients/steps. You can’t go wrong with either 🙂

    Can you tell me what brand of marshmallow creme you use? I have had recipes fail over and over and I think it’s Bc I’ve bought fluff when I should have bought creme and creme when I should have used fluff. Thanks! My neighbors will love this during the holidays.
