Everyone loves gifts from the kitchen, and this Espresso Mocha Fudge is the perfect treat for the coffee lovers that you know.
I have to say, I hate doing gift exchanges. Really.
It never fails, you always end up with some sort of trinkets or nic-nacs that you don’t want, or you don’t have a place for it. Then what do you do? Do you keep it because so-and-so got it for you? Do you give it away or donate it? What if Aunt Sue comes to visit and asks about said unwanted trinket? The struggle is real folks.
My solution? Give consumables.
I like to give people things they can use. Use it up, enjoy it while you have it, and then it is done. Whether it is pretty candles, “gourmet” lotions or edibles. They are appreciated and not a burden!
That’s what I love about gifts like this. Who doesn’t love a tin of fudge? They eat the yummy fudge, then if they want it, they have a tin they can use or regift with other goodies.
Enjoy this rich treat!

I would like to make this but have a question! Is the marshmallow cream the whipped version or the original? The volume will be much different depending on which one. Thanks in advance for a response!
Loved your spice rack shelf….you are so talented….
How is your Son doing that went into Service, think his name was Jack, I believe it’s your youngest….haven’t been on here in awhile so might have missed info you posted….I hope everything went well for him…. Do you have any Grandkids yet ?
Thank you for asking! Jack is back home and has been working as an auto tech. My older son, Joshua is still in the army – currently at Ft. Bragg and liking being back here they grew up. No grandkids yet! LOL
Your Fudge looks wonderful and sounds just as delicious…..do you make a peanut butter fudge too? Could you use this same recipe and substitute peanut butter for the marshmallow creme ?
I just love gifting food! It is easy, personal and delicious! This will be perfect for all my friends who love coffee this year!
I’m definitely a coffee fan, this could be dangerous!
I agree, food gifts are the best. I’d much rather get this fabulous fudge than another trinket.
The best fudge ever!
Espresso Fudge sounds great….and salted nutella does too. I’m coming over to your house for the holidays!
Yum! I love fudge and an espresso version sounds delicious!
Your fudge wouldn’t last long at my house! LOVE those perfect squares!!!
