German Chocolate Fudge

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Eagle Brand I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

This German Chocolate Fudge will be the talk of the holidays! Thick chocolate fudge topped with a gooey coconut pecan icing! #SweetenYourSeason #IC #ad

It's less than a week until Thanksgiving ... can you believe it?! A friend of mine posted a status on Facebook that I totally related to. She said,

Everybody is getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I'm over here like, "wth, it's November? When did that happen?"

Seriously, though ... when did it happen?!

As crazy as it sounds, I feel like I'm about a month behind. I lost a few weeks somewhere and I'm hustling, trying to catch up! Don't mind me, I'll be the one celebrating Christmas after the New Year at the rate I'm going! At least I'll catch some great markdowns with the after-Christmas stuff, right?!

I don't know about you, but I just love all of the yummy treats that come out this time of the year! If there is anything that will motivate me to get with the season, it's fudge - especially when it's this German Chocolate Fudge! Ah-maz-ing! Not only would it be great on a holiday tray, but it would make a fantastic homemade gift idea!

To help inspire our creativity, and raise the dessert bar this holiday season, Eagle Brand has launched limited-edition seasonal flavors - Caramel and Chocolate Sweetened Condensed Milk. When I saw the Eagle Brand Chocolate Flavored Sweetened Condensed milk, I knew I had to make this fudge .... Lawd have mercy, I knew I had to make this fudge! It is soooo good! You should make it too!

The new Eagle Brand Flavored Sweetened Condensed Milks make great shortcuts while you’re baking delicious holiday favorites for your friends and family. Both chocolate and caramel varieties of sweetened condensed milk bring the rich, creamy texture to holiday recipes that the entire family will love. Try them now, because just like the holidays, they’re here only for a short time.

The two new flavors provide the same quality that Eagle Brand consumers have trusted for over 150 years.
