Peppermint Fudge

Yesterday I was busy working on my list of goodies.  I marked off Peppermint Fudge so I thought I would share the recipe. This is SUPER sweet and makes a great gift to give to friends, teachers, co-workers or heck just keep the whole pan for the family! 

And the boys helped too!  They helped me crush the peppermint.  And loved doing it too!

Look at that face! He is really getting into it!

Making peppermint fudge is a Christmas tradition for me.  The boys will take a good portion of it to church on Sunday to share with their Sunday School class.  Although it is fun to have sweets around during December, my favorite thing to do with them is share. 

I hope you'll try it and make it part of your goodies for the Christmas season!
