Do you love making fudge for gifts? I have made a number of fudge recipes over the years, but I keep going back to the tried and true recipes, which get eaten up every time. See my favourites below, but I would love to hear about your recipes!

The best part about making fudge is that it is so easy! You just need a few ingredients that you microwave together, and you can make an impressive gift that puts a smile on people's faces, every time. These are my favourite fudge recipes, what are yours?
