Well, our Polar Express Party was full of family, fun, food, and lots of love. I think everyone had a great time and it all seemed to have gone well despite the bad weather we were experiencing.
The cousins had a lot of fun visiting, playing hide and seek, enjoying all the sweet treats, and having a special movie night experience. The grown-ups also got to talk and enjoy the movie… I love these special memories that our kids will be able to fondly look back on when they are older.
It’s just about that time of year when I need to get started on my Christmas Fudge. I definitely need to get it made before the Polar Express Party so we can share it with our family and friends who may come to visit.
Here are the recipe links for the fudge flavors that we have made in the past:
The Milk Chocolate Fudge has several flavor variations to try.
Milk Chocolate Fudge (Christmas Fudge) — several flavor variations!
I am hoping to try a couple of new flavors this year… maybe even an egg nog flavor! It’s always fun trying out new flavors and sometimes we have great success while others are total flops but we have fun trying!
Here are some of the other candies that we make around this time of year as well:
Chocolate Covered Eggs (updated with more flavors!) (shape into balls for Christmas Candy)
Crockpot Chocolate Peanut Clusters aka Reindeer Poop
Haystacks aka Noodle Cookies (2 versions here)
We hope you find these recipes easy to use and we pray that you have a blessed holiday season!

This is yet another adaptation of our family favorite fudge recipe. I didn’t get a picture because the fudge disappeared so fast I didn’t have a chance! I will definitely be making this again and will try to snap a picture when I do. I plan to test out some more flavor variations throughout the year as well.

This is a new family favorite as my daughter brought home some red velvet fudge she had found at a gas station. The challenge was on to adapt our recipe to include this new flavor and it’s been a hit so far.
