You won’t believe how easy this is to make!
Fudge….. I don’t think I have ever met a piece I didn’t love. I know the idea of making homemade fudge sounds like a chore, but do you want to know the best part about this Rocky Road Fudge Bites Recipe? It’s made without a saucepan or candy thermometer. Two bowls and the microwave is all you need to make this decadent treat.
So I don’t eat all this fudge alone (cause I would), I like packaging up this goody for a quick and easy holiday gift. Homemade gifts are truly the best, and one that is THIS delicious will be loved by all.
