HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYBODY! ARE YOU READY?!?!

I hope that you are ready, and if not, let me help you out with a colorful and flavorful festive fudge that will get you in the mood.

Ok, if you have some real candy canes that are minty, you'll want to use them for this. Here in Chile, we've had a real hard time finding mint candy canes. Almost all of them are a fruity flavor which is really funny. The first time we bought candy canes, we did not know this so the first bite was a real surprise.

Can you can keep a secret?,... (My Dad always says that if someone asks you if you can keep a secret, your response should be, "I can keep as good as you can."), okay, back to the secret - these 'mint' candy canes in these photos are actually berry flavor, please, don't tell anyone.

I wanted to kick of December with the right post, and I think this one will have achieved that, what do you think?.

Not much more to say about this awesome fudge, I'll let the chocolate and the photos do the talking for me.

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more about me in my INTRO POST.
