Candy Turtles & Fudge Recipes – 2 of the World’s Easiest Candy Recipes for the Holidays

candy turtles

I am really not good at cooking or baking. I’m also not very patient when it comes to cooking or baking. If something requires more than a half hour of prep and more than a handful of ingredients…I’m definitely not going to attempt to make it. Which is unfortunate, because I come from a family of really amazing cooks! (I don’t know how that gene missed me, haha.)

So, with it being the holidays, I asked my Mom and Grandma if they had some recipes even I could handle making….So, I didn’t have to bring store-bought candy for my holiday parties. These are the easy candy recipes they gave me…and they are so incredibly simple to make, it’s laughable. But they are so delicious! I figured I would share them with you all, in case someone else out there is struggling to make some candy for their holiday parties too!

  1. Candy Turtles Recipe is great! To be honest, I’m not good at cooking but I like them, they give me joy and excitement every time I finish the dishes, which is a great thing. With your recipe, I just need to follow the instructions and the rest is simple. Thanks for sharing

  2. Ooh! Anything chocolaty and I am sold and these look so easy to make.
