This gingerbread fudge recipe combines two Christmas classics into one delicious treat perfect for git giving or holiday cookie trays!
When you think of Christmassy scents, what are the first things that come to mind? For me it is pine needles, peppermint and gingerbread!!
I'm a big fan of gingerbread all year round and really not sure why most people tend to eat it only during the holidays. Another Christmas classic is fudge!
So, by combining that gingerbread flavor with fudge we have this Gingerbread Fudge Recipe, which is destined to become the next Christmas classic!
And if you are a fudge lover in general, be sure to also check out our egg nog fudge recipe! If one kind of holiday fudge is good, then two kinds is even better!
This recipe can be made in a standard 9″x9″ cake pan, but to make it really special, I like the presentation factor of forming it into gingerbread man shapes! It's easy to do with a gingerbread silicone mold. Just pour the fudge mixture into the mold and let it cool into cute little gingerbread men!

This gingerbread fudge makes a great addition to any plate of holiday cookies and treats, but it is also perfect for gift giving. To make a pretty present, I like to pack treats into a brightly colored treat box or reusable tin like the ones above.
While any treat is fun to receive as a gift, it's even better when the presentation shows the giver really cares about making the total package pretty.
This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, but if you don't have it on hand you can use this recipe to make your own homemade sweetened condensed milk.

I also like ginger cookies which have strong flavour to go along with tea in Christmas time. Ginger is also good for our stomach and we will not be bother much on our diet with ginger cookies.

I love this! We love white chocolate recipes, and I’ve never seen anything like this. It is both cute and sounds delish!
Susan says
I use a recipe similar to this for dark and milk chocolate fudge, if you don’t have the molds you can also use cookie cutters to create the shapes – the kids love the little extra scraps left over.
Chrysa says
Good tip!!
Cat says
How did you make the face!? They aren’t on the mold?
Karen Mary says
Looks like you used a different mold than the one you linked to? Adorable fudge, but I’d love to use the mold with the details. Can you tell us where to get it? Thanks for the recipe!
Chrysa says
These particular molds were from a local craft store, but I added some links to more on Amazon that also have the “indented” details.
Elena says
Sounds yummy! Thank you for the recipe

Donna says
Gingerbread fudge sounds delicious! I love the adorable gingerbread man shapes. Such a fun and festive treat to make!
Renee says
I loved the idea for this! I have not been able to find the Wilton mold with the details (as suggested), apparently it is discontinued! The red replacement mold lacks the details that make it so cute! I thought you should know since you partner and suggest that mold. I did find others, but they are smaller pieces and only 8 in one tray which made it more labor intensive! Still they are cute.
Cindy says
Do you spray the silicone mold?
Can this be done with the chocolate chips, condensed milk & vanilla recipe?
Chrysa says
I don’t spray the mold. I would think you could do it with that other recipe, but I haven’t tried it to say for certain!
