mom's best chocolate fudge
(1 RATING)
My mom is the ultimate fudge maker to me. Instead of asking for presents for Christmas I always asked her to make me fudge. She always has, but got me presents too because she is a good mom like that. This is my absolute favorite fudge that my mom makes. I hope you enjoy it too.
