Mint Oreo Fudge
The theme for this month’s swap was holiday cookies or treats and I could have more elated when I received this recipe from Melissa of I Was Born to Cook. As you may have noticed, I love mint and chocolate, so this couldn’t have been a more perfect for me. But not only was it perfect, it was so simple to make!!
I haven’t found a fudge that I like quite as much as my mom’s recipe – which takes forever and a lot of constant stirring to make – but this recipe is definitely right up there with it!! Now, instead of waiting until Christmas every year to enjoy my fudge, this recipe is simple enough that I can make it any time of the year!!
Thank you Melissa for such a great recipe!!

Thanks for being part of the recipe swap!
