Fudge is one of those desserts that everyone loves but when it comes to fruitcakes, the crowds can tend to disagree. I mean there’s team fruitcake that absolutely loves it and then there’s team I hate it which can’t even stomach the smell. I personally like it but in small increments.  That being said this fruitcake fudge is a horse of a different color. It’s got some rich and delicious flavors even people who really don’t care for fruitcake will love.
