Christmas Fudge in a cookie-cutter is one of the cutest ways to gift treats to someone. This is a unique and cheap gift idea for neighbors.

During the holidays we love giving gifts to everyone; neighbors, co-workers, teachers, and friends. I think this is one of the cutest ways you can gift treats to someone: fill cookie cutters with homemade fudge!

We always use our Marshmallow Cream Fudge recipe for this! It's foolproof.  This idea is fun and festive and along with the fudge, your friend gets to keep an adorable Christmas cookie cutter!

Instructions

  • Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and place cookie cutters on top.
  • Make our easy Marshmallow Cream Fudge recipe up to step 5.
  • Instead of pouring the fudge into the pan, use a measuring cup with a handle and scoop portions of fudge into each cookie cutter.
  • Use a small rubber spatula to smooth fudge out as necessary, it will be pretty thick and may not get into all the corners without a little coaxing!
  • Add sprinkles or nuts over the top to garnish and set in the fridge to harden.
  • Once cooled, wrap in clear bags and tie each one with a bow.

    These are adorable. How far in advance can you make them?

      I've only done it one or two days in advance! But in general, fudge that is kept in an airtight container at room temperature will last for one to two weeks. Refrigerating fudge can extend its shelf life to two to three weeks. :)
