Fudge is acceptable at any time of year in our household, but there’s something about the holidays that puts us into fudge overdrive and we start to get more creative with our chocolate combinations. We love all the classics – chocolate, sea salt, peanut butter, etc. – but this time we’re going above and beyond; cherry pistachio coconut fudge.

That’s right, chock-full of yummy morsels, this fudge is a breeze to make and will get everybody even more excited about family time at your house! Considering how tasty it is and how quickly it comes together, this dessert is definitely one you’ll come back to time and again…enjoy!
