Today I was passing around these Baileys Caramel Pecan Fudge squares to the neighbors. Last year I made some awesome Dark Chocolate Guinness Fudge, so this year I had to change it up a bit and use Baileys. This recipe is actually adapted from my Tequila Lime Coconut Fudge

Oreo truffles are just so easy, I couldn't resist. Just grind up some Oreos and mix with some cream cheese. Roll the mixture up into small balls and dip them in candy melt. I had some gingerbread candy melt and eggnog candy melt left, so I used that along with some dark chocolate candy melt.

No thermometer required, no slaving away over a hot stove for hours, just a microwave, a bowl, and a bit of mixing. Honestly, that’s it! Yielding the most beautiful, creamy, and luxurious fudge, with malt balls.

A creamy combination of white chocolate, peppermint and mermaid-hues. This delicious fudge is quick, easy and totally Instagram-worthy.
