Watching A Christmas Story is a yearly tradition for my family, and our movie night isn’t complete without eating on-theme Christmas treats while we watch. Usually we make these iconic leg lamp cookies, but this year, we’re adding soap-shaped fudge to the menu (hear me out). Whether or not the soap is going to make Ralphie go blind one day is up for debate, but I promise this fudge will only have your eyes lighting up.
This eye-catching fudge gets its stunning color from its white chocolate-cherry flavor. If you’ve never made fudge before, don’t stress—this recipe is not only simple to make, but also comes together fairly quickly. Cutting the fudge into rectangles will make it look like bars of soap, and if you want to take it a step further, these stamps are great for punching in his iconic mishap line “oh fudge.” They come in a couple sizes, so you can cut small enough pieces to still get the saying in there without needing to cut huge pieces of fudge.
Serve these up at your holiday party (or as a homemade food gift) to turn Ralphie’s punishment into an adorable treat.
