Gingerbread fudge

Soft and chewy gingerbread fudge is better than your classic gingerbread cookie. Make a batch and enjoy with your favorite cup of coffee or hot chocolate!

I recently shared that I had a gingerbread fudge fail, but I turned the sticky mess into gingerbread fudge cookies and brownies. After that fudge fiasco, I finally got the right ratio with the next batch of gingerbread fudge.

Turns out that I needed more chocolate chips in the base since I added a bunch of molasses to it. More liquid = runny fudge. It was one of those “duh” moments that I should have known about but didn’t.

This second batch of fudge was amazing. It was soft, chewy, and it contained all the classic flavors of a traditional gingerbread cookie. I liked the fact that I didn’t have to use a cookie cutter for these or have to decorate them with icing. While I enjoy doing those things from time to time, I usually get lazy or just don’t have the energy.

The gingerbread fudge was something that I gifted to friends and coworkers for the holidays. I like baking homemade treats as gifts since it’s easier than trying to find individual gifts for everyone. Plus, one batch of fudge makes a lot so it can be split up into multiple gifts.

I didn’t transfer my fudge quickly enough to my baking pan so the tops got a bit crackly. But I think it gives the fudge some character, don’t you? If you don’t like the cracking, you can always top the fudge with sprinkles to hide it.
