Christmas Candy Cookie Dough Fudge - Neighbor Gift

Sweet, decadent, and delicious- Christmas Candy Cookie Dough Fudge is an easy microwaveable treat that makes great neighbor and teacher gifts and can be made with any kind of Christmas candy! 

Fudge is a treat I don't make most of the year. For some reason, the only time I get really into making sweet, delicious, candy filled treats is winter- and in the leadup to Christmas, I love making fudge!

Fudge is a fantastically easy and cute gift for friends, teachers, and neighbors- it is relatively cheap, can be made in the microwave, and outside of letting it sit in the fridge to firm up, it is super quick.

And really-- who doesn't love to indulge in some delicious fudge at Christmas? It's one of my favorite traditions!

This year, I have a bunch of delicious new fudge recipes I've been testing and can't wait to share. I think you're going to love them as much as I do- and this Cookie dough flavored fudge with Christmas Candy is a huge winner.

I used Christmas M&M's- which have a wonderful peppermint and chocolate flavor- to make them completely irresistible!

I like to give fudge in cute bags or boxes- but I also love to add them in cute little mason jars. I found some from Joann Fabric and Crafts (they have a whole new line of "jar bling" that is adorable) and added some cute Christmas Tree bakers twine and some adorable jar toppers to present them to friends.

I love how they look!
