It wouldn’t be Christmas without chocolate fudge and this is my family’s recipe for Traditional Christmas Fudge. It’s really quick and easy to make and it turns out perfectly creamy and chocolatey every time.

The ingredients. You can see the Kaffeemilch which in Austria is essentially evaporated milk. Also be sure to use the real American marshmallows for this recipe. I forgot to add the salt to the photo but it’s in there. 😉 You can stir in chopped nuts if you like, as you can see in the photos of the finished fudge.Traditional Christmas Fudge ~ Living on CookiesCombine butter, evaporated milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan.
