    Making candy is always fun, at Christmas time I made Easy Christmas Fudge and Melting Snowman Bark both came out really good. Which gave me the plan to make an ST. Patricks Day Fudge version. With green candy melts and mint flavoring - Yum. It is really rich but so good. I used to be afraid of making candy, thinking that it was easy to mess up if you didn't get the temperature just right. There have definitely been a few times that fudge didn't get hard. It was usually good eating it with a spoon though. There were also the times that it hardened too quickly. You know its hard in the pan and won't dump out into your baking dish -haha.

    My shamrocks on my fudge definitely leave a lot to be desired Sorry about that, I didn't realize until now. Originally my plan was to use white chocolate, either white chocolate chips or block white chocolate.  However, after realizing I still had green candy melts in the freezer from Christmas .-Perfect, I wasn't sure if it would come out too dark, but with the white marshmallow cream it lightened it up some.

      I’ve seen cake, cookies, and drinks for St. Paddy’s day food, but never green fudge. This looks yummy and the shamrocks on top are cute.
      I’m doing a special St. Paddy’s day food edition in a few weeks and would love to include a picture of the fudge, with a link back to your site and recipe.

      If this interests you then please let me know by emailing me at

      Many thanks
