Gingerbread Holiday Fudge
There’s nothing I love more than sipping hot coffee and eating fudge right from the tin. It’s a guilty pleasure that I look forward to all year long. This time I decided to give my treat a nice makeover and shaped them into gifts. Don’t they look cute?
My Gingerbread Holiday Fudge is soft, chewy and decadent with the spicy flavor of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and ginger. Wouldn’t you rather take a bite out of this than eating a man-shaped cookie? Feels less cannibalistic to me.
These guys are super easy to make and definitely a job to do with kids. Let them assemble their own, add their sprinkles, etc.
I could easily spend all afternoon with my girls listening to holiday music and making this fudge. We’ll be giving them out to their teachers and soccer coaches. A homemade gift is much more thoughtful and personal. They can even add their favorite colors or sprinkles.
Honestly, when I pictured the idea in my head I had no idea how to conceive it. I tried many items to resemble the strings of the gift including that famous red long candy leftover from Halloween. Nothing worked until I found red cookie icing that comes in a bag.
For the bow part, you can either make it out of icing, fondant or heart shaped sprinkles. Since I am not very crafty (due to being lefty), I found bow shaped icing decorations in my local craft store. All I had to do is stick it on top of my icing and voila!
The inspiration behind this yummy Gingerbread Holiday Fudge came to me while I was sipping the new New England Coffee Gingerbread Cookie Winter Seasonal Flavor.
It has amazing taste, delicious aroma, and it’s just so soothing. A sip of this coffee and instantly I’m in a good mood.
I hope you can try this delicious Gingerbread Holiday Fudge at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.

We are taking the time to visit everyone this year and not just those who can make the family dinner!
this is our routine: chat, eat, rest, chat, eat, rest, eat, chat, chat, eat, rest. pretty predictable! 🙂
We usually celebrate with family & friends, sharing each other’s company and catching up with each other over a good meal with plenty of desserts.
Simple pleasures this year involving lots of food, drink and family!
we are coming to our house and celebrating with food and family.
My husband and I will be visiting my sister and brother-in-law for Thanksgiving. I moved from West Virginia to be near her in Indiana. She’s excited about making the Thanksgiving dinner. I went grocery shopping for the food with her just last night, in fact.
For Christmas my husband and I will be driving down to southern Indiana to visit my mother.
(I’m from southern Indiana but in 2011 I moved to West Virginia for four years. Now I live in central Indiana where my sister lives.)
Thanks for the opportunity!
How fabulous! I will be celebrating the holidays with my family. We will be enjoying amazing food, fun, and festivities! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

This year is going to be very, very different for me. I am recently divorced and my daughter will be with her dad this Christmas (since it’s an even year, he gets Christmas according to our custody rules).

Since I won’t be with her on Christmas Day, I plan on volunteering in a homeless shelter to help cook meals for Christmas.

Well, we will celebrate the way we usually do. My niece & nephews are out of school, so they will be here most days during their school break (while their Mom & Dad are at work)—so I spend a lot of time trying to keep them from finding hidden presents, lol. On Christmas Eve, we usually let them open one thing. On Christmas Day, they will come over here & open other gifts.

Wow, this is so incredible and that fudge looks divine! This year has been exceptionally hard for me because I lost the most important person in my life; my precious 80 year old Nana. I am trying to make it through everything just living through her spirit.. I know thats what she would want me to do. I am trying to keep up with the special traditions that we had together to honor her and keep me together. xo
Our immediate family lives local, so that’s nice! We always have Christmas Eve with my husband’s family and Christmas Day with my family.

We rarely celebrate the holiday on the “day”. It’s tough when you have to plan around work schedules (we have a nurse) and the in-laws, etc. Our holiday is whenever we are able to get together.

Thank you for the giveaway! I plan on spending the holidays at home with my husband and teens. We celebrated with my mother a couple weeks ago when she came to visit as well. I will start the day with a home cooked breakfast. I’ll probably cook a turkey and other sides for our dinner. We will spend quality time with one another and create more memories. Our children are going to leave the nest soon, and it is important to me for us to create and treasure every moment.
We are planning to go home to Illinois for Christmas. We will have a big get together and spend as much time as possible together before we have to return to Wisconsin.
