Chocolate Oreo Fudge

Those Twinkies were quite an undertaking last week.  Between the egg whipping, the heating, the cooling, the stirring, the molding, the injecting...it took about two and a half hours to make something that took me about 2.5 seconds to inhale. Not that the amount of time was a bad thing.  I was happy with the final product, but I just don't have that amount of time every week to commit to my Sweet Spot.

So this week's recipe took about the same amount of time, but two of those two and a half hours were spent waiting for the fudge to harden in the refrigerator; so to me, that was time well spent for a sweet that was just as good, if not better.

In summary, the Chocolate Oreo Fudge was extremely easy to make and even easier to eat!  With very few ingredients, fudge is a great go-to treat and you can add many different goodies to the mix to make it your own.  Nuts are a great addition as well as peanut or almond butter.  I decided to add Double Stuffed Oreos to my recipe because...well because they're Oreos!

I definitely recommend this recipe if you don't really consider yourself a "baker", but need something quick, easy and delicious to fill that Sweet Spot!
