There have been many times that I’ve wanted to make a special treat for a celebration or just because but haven’t had the time to make something fancy.
This Caramel Macchiato Coffee Creamer Fudge recipe comes together quickly, so I can always plan to make time for cooking a batch of homemade fudge.
This coffee creamer fudge is made with with butter, sugar, evaporated milk, Caramel Macchiato International Delight Creamer Singles, white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
When it comes to the holiday season, homemade fudge is at the top of my list of favorite desserts. Growing up, my mom always made classic chocolate fudge with nuts over the holidays. When I learned how to make peanut butter fudge, it felt like the door was opened to making all sorts of flavors of homemade fudge.
This go around, I had fun experimenting with using coffee creamer for part of the base of the fudge. There are so many ways to make fudge out there, but I wanted to make something that really captured the flavor combination I was going for.
This Caramel Macchiato Coffee Creamer Fudge has a white chocolate base, made with a combination of evaporated milk and International Delight Caramel Macchiato creamer singles, to let the flavor of the coffee creamer really seep into the fudge.
When I was planning to make this fudge, I was able to pick up the creamer singles in the coffee section at Dollar General and grab some other things I needed to make dinner as well. I always love when I can pick up many things that I need in one store!
Then of course, it wouldn’t be a caramel macchiato themed dessert without a classic caramel topping. I have loved making homemade caramel and using it as a part of my dessert recipes lately, like on these Apple Spice Mini Rum Cakes.
Homemade caramel is so easy to make and goes perfectly with the idea of homemade fudge.
