    Decadent Candy Corn Fudge

Some things you’d like to get rid of and others you can’t get enough of. Like this yummy decadent Candy Corn Fudge treat. Can’t get enough of it. Although my dentist might argue the fact. Candy corn is one of those funny little Halloween treats. I never thought about it at all until after turning 40. In fact I wouldn’t have given it the time of day before that. Weird, but true.…

    May 8, 2012 - By
