I totally have to make these for my 4th of July cookout. They are going to be a huge hit.
I love that you cut these out into stars! Such a cute idea and I bet they are tasty. I’m off the sweets for a little bit though, so I will have to save this recipe for later!
Oh how amazing does that fudge look, I’ve never tried making it myself before so you have with with easy – I am totally up for giving easy fudge a try!
This is the perfect fudge for 4th of July! I love the stars and the patriotic colors – so pretty and I can only imagine how good it tastes.
Sounds very sweet and sugary.
I’ve made fudge a total of 1 time. I think it’s time for me to get over my fear of it and try it again. And what better way than with your patriotic fudge. It’s so pretty, the kids (and everyone) would love it.
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! What could be better? This this so festive and EASY! I’m sure it tastes great too 🙂
One thing I am good at when it comes to fudge is eating it. Never attempted to make it before and yours looks delicious and colourful
I love easy desserts! My daughter would love to make these for the 4th.
These are such cute treats! I almost forgot that 4th of July is coming up. These are the perfect snacks for the occasion. I will definitely try making these for friends and family. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
That fudge is absolutely gorgeous. My son has a 4th of July birthday so I would love to make this special treat for him!
This is so clever and colourful! I want to try a Canada Day version! I love the shape they are too. I could do maple leafs for mine.
I love the swirls, the fudge turned out perfectly! I love the star shape of them. I’ll try to make it on some celebration at my home. The fudge recipe looks great! I can’t wait to try it! My question is….can I use liquid food coloring or does it have to be the paste kind??
Looks awesome! I will include this in our Fourth of July menu. My kids, nephews and nieces will love this! Thank you for sharing.
My fudge has always been too soft to cut into shapes like this. I am loving this recipe!
My husband love fudge candies but for some reason, I always fail when I try to make it. I might have to try your recipe.
I just love how patriotic this dessert is! I will have to make this with my daughter this weekend!
This is such a great treat for the fourth of July! I love the design and its patriotic look!
How fun and festive! My kids would love me to make something like this for our 4th of July celebration.
Fudge and fudge brownies are my favorite dessert!
