Green and Gold White Chocolate Fudge

Today’s recipe for Fudge on Friday is based on the team colors of the Green Bay Packers. As most of you know I’m a Wisconsin food blogger. My recipes feature many foods that Wisconsin is famous for. Foods such as cheese, cranberries, maple syrup, honey, farm fresh produce and of course beer. Sports are also rich in Wisconsin’s history and today’s recipe for Green and Gold White Chocolate Fudge showcases our favorite team colors. Serve green and gold fudge with another green and gold favorite; Green and Gold Corn Dip

Paradise Fruit Co.

Green and Gold White Chocolate Fudge is made with Paradise Fruit. This is my second year developing recipes using Paradise Fruit. Dried fruit can be used in so many recipes! Everything from bread, cookies, fudge to smoothie bowls. Here are just a few recipes that use Paradise Fruit, Chocolate Covered Cherry Fudge, Pumpkin Maple Frozen PieGiddy Up Cowboy Cookies  and Tropical Smoothie Bowl Paradise Fruit.

Classic Fudge Recipe

Green and Gold White Chocolate Fudge is another great recipe to make using Paradise Fruit. This classic Toll House fudge recipe features two different kinds of dried fruit; candied green cherries and candied tropical pineapple. Both the candied green cherries and pineapple are diced into small pieces and folded into a mixture of melted white chocolate chips, evaporated milk, sugar, butter, vanilla extract and mini marshmallows.

Fudge Galore

Here at Turnips 2 Tangerines we love our fudge and we have the recipes to prove it! Not all fudge recipes can be rated the same. Some of the fudge recipes we’ve made we have loved, some have been pretty good, while others have been so-so. For the most part though, all of the fudge recipes here on T2T are tried and true recipes. My friend Cindy from Canada asked me once, “Have you really made all of the recipes on your blog?” and I have answered, “Yeppers!”

Holiday Time

Holiday Time for me wouldn’t be the same without fudge. My grandma was well known and famous for her fudge. She started making batches upon batches of fudge right after Thanksgiving and continued to Christmas. I do believe she made her fudge well into her 70’s and possibly her 80’s. Even though I’ve tried to make my grandma’s fudge recipe several different times, it just doesn’t taste the same. I remember as a young girl saying something like that to my mom, that the ice cream didn’t taste the same unless she dished it up..I’m not sure if it’s a psychological thing or what but sometimes its true:)
