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.

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 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.

These particular molds were from a local craft store, but I added some links to more on Amazon that also have the “indented” details.
