Fudge is great for any occasion according to my family. Peppermint Fudge is an easy recipe perfect for Valentine’s Day. It is a festive pink color and quick to make when you are busy with other Valentine’s preparations. It can be made early in the morning or even a couple days ahead. Package some up in a small box to send with your family members to school or work for a special treat.
