When I first began experimenting with making my own fudge, I was completely floored by how simple it was. Not only did it taste store-bought incredible, but for days after serving it, my children treated me with new-found respect -- like I was their very own Willy Wonka.

If you're looking to test out a different dessert this holiday season, why not give fudge a whirl? Plated or packaged, it makes a great presentation that will dazzle your guests. It also makes a fun, homemade hostess gift!

With so many tempting recipes, discovering new ways to make it is almost as addictive as the fudge itself!

Caramel Sea Salt Fudge

This easy salted caramel fudge is sure to impress friends and family. The recipe calls for dulce de leche, but if you can't find it, you can boil a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk for three hours until it caramelizes. The sea salt offsets the sweetness of the chocolate and caramel perfectly!
