Pure sugar bliss!
Creamy and rich with a hint of strawberry, AND pink!
With Valentine's Day right around the corner this is a perfect treat to whip up for anyone...
the kids, parents, neighbors, friends, significant other.
Anyone would love to receive this treat.
And it is quick and easy to make, and my favorite part is that it is homemade candy that doesn't require a candy thermometer!

I am somewhat picky when it comes to fudge and I usually don't do a "fantasy fudge". Although, if you don't tell me I won't snub any fudge you push my way, "fantasy" or not.
If you don't know what I am talking about when I say "fantasy fudge" it is typically the fudge made with marshmallow creme. Don't know why I tend to stay away from these, especially since I am not good at making homemade fudge the old fashioned way, but I just think nothing compares to old fashioned fudge.
Guess I have grew up around too many women who can make old fashioned fudge literally with their eyes closed, no measuring cups in hand, and definitely no candy thermometer. *SIGH*ENVY*
Obviously I have high standards to live up to around here.
And if I have to whip out a candy thermometer then I am doomed. But I am trying to do better.
Having said that, this recipe is definitely what I would consider a "fantasy fudge" and I LOVE IT!
So, whip up some in 15 min. or less and share the LOVE!
