Christmas Cake Batter Fudge – Easy & Delicious Homemade Recipe

🎅 Historical Overview

Fudge dates back to the late 19th century when it was accidentally created by a student at Vassar College who “fudged” a caramel recipe. Over time, fudge evolved from simple chocolate to countless flavors — including today’s holiday-inspired varieties. The cake batter fudge twist emerged as bakers began blending classic cake mix flavors into creamy fudge bases, creating a dessert that’s both nostalgic and modern — just right for Christmas celebrations!
