    With my new found affection for cookie butter, I decided that one thing I had to try was a Cookie Butter Fudge.  The hint of cinnamon from the cookie butter, the creamy texture of this fudge, will have you wanting more!

    Cookie Butter Fudge
     

    This yummy little cookie butter fudge treat made it in a goodie box that I sent to Christopher.  I have always been a fan of homemade fudge, but always have been candy challenged when trying to make it.  So, when it turns out for me, then I have to share it.

    The secret to creamy delicious fudge!

    I found this little secret out years ago when making peanut butter fudge and I don't know why I didn't just always use it when attempting fudge recipes.  There is one ingredient that will work magic in your fudge making.  It is 3 little words.  Cream of Tartar.  I found out that it helps to set your fudge by breaking down the sucrose, eliminating the graininess that you can get with sugar.  It turns your fudge into the creamiest, dreamiest, sweetest little bite of comfort you ever had and comfort was something my entire family has needed this past week.

    Cookie Butter Fudge

    My Uncle Lyle passed away on Saturday, November 15 and today is his memorial.  I won't make it home today for his memorial, but I will be there in heart and spirit.  He had just turned 80 this year and wasn't in the greatest of health.  Even so, his passing happened very quickly and was unexpected when it did happen.  I want to dedicate this post today to him.  I'm pretty sure he would have approved of this recipe.  I'm going to miss him and I am so happy I had the opportunity to see him in October when I went home for a visit.  May he rest in peace.  I will always have a super soft spot in my heart that will always be there just for him. Love you forever, love you for always Uncle Lyle.

      Shelby, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your Uncle My Uncle Lyle. I am sure he would have approved this recipe as well and raved about it! I have yet to try cookie butter but this looks like the perfect first recipe for it!

      Sorry about the passing of your uncle....

      However, I am very excited to learn how to make fudge properly without condensed milk - I have attempted to make it many, many times, and it always comes out grainy or doesn't set properly.

      Sorry about your uncle. <3
      Ooh, cookie butter fudge. I'd cheat for a bite of that. And love the secret of cream of tartar, can't wait to try it--do you say it will help if you just put it in any ol' fudge recipe? Or should one be looked for that has it in the recipe?

      So sorry about your uncle.

      I had to stop by and say YUM! for the fudge. I didn't know about using cream of tarter so I really learned a new trick too. Thanks Shelby!

      So sorry for the loss of your uncle, HoneyB. 🙁

      I got on your blog to see if you were affected by the massive snowfall - hope you are doing OK.

      I never knew about cream of tartar in fudge. I always have a graininess issue! Thanks so much for sharing your tip.
