Caramel Coffee Fudge
Caramel and coffee layers come together in a fun new fudge recipe. This Caramel Coffee Fudge is perfect for making and eating when you need a special treat. I do suggest giving most of it away though because it is extremely delicious.
I have decided that I cannot make fudge without layers. Seriously, it just doesn’t happen without the layers!
Every time I go to make fudge it ends up having 2-3 layers in it. This fudge was going to be just caramel, but then I started thinking of all the ways I could make it more interesting.
My first thought was salted caramel because…well, because I seriously have been addicted to that goodness ever since I made these Salted Caramel Mocha Brownie Cups. Then that got me thinking and dreaming for the Starbuck’s Salted Caramel Mocha! Fingers crossed that comes back very, very soon!
So, I had to add a coffee layer to the caramel fudge then. I mean I just had to, right?
So here we are with a fun fudge that has two layers now. But even that still wasn’t enough for me. A drizzle of chocolate gave it just the last layer of perfection that it needed.
Crazy much? Yes, I know that I am!
I seriously could not stay out of this fudge!
Yes, I know I’m supposed to be staying strong on this whole no sugar thing, but dang it! It was Caramel Coffee Fudge! I had to try it…then I had to have a little bite more, which led to needing more “bites”. You know where this is going, right? Wrong!!!
Lucky for me I had a reason for making a fun new treat! Our church takes a special lunch over to the elementary school for the teachers every quarter. This week we wanted to say thank you for all the work you will do this year with the students from our community.
I pulled out my die cut machine and the Party Flag Inserts die cut pack from WR Memory Keepers/Life Style Crafts and used the smallest round die to make a cute label for each piece of fudge.
The little slit that the die cut makes is just perfect for sliding these labels onto a paper straw. I knew this striped paper straw obsession I have would come in handy for more things than just pictures of cute food.
Delicious layered fudge…check.
Fun and cute labels…check.
Getting the fudge out of the house before eating it all…check, check, check!!!!
