Christmas Fudge in a cookie-cutter is one of the cutest ways you can gift treats to someone. This is an awesome, but cheap gift idea for neighbors.

During the holidays we love giving gifts to everyone; neighbors, co-workers, teachers, and friends. As you can imagine, that can really add up, so we get creative. I’m biased, but 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!

No time to make fudge? Print this funny ‘Homemade Christmas Fudge’ poem.

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.
