Why You Will Love This Recipe
This recipe holds a special place in my heart. When my grandmother would come to visit, we always made fudge together. Her original fudge recipes used complex ingredients and required constant supervision. After she became ill, it was harder for us to enjoy our tradition. That is why I have developed Easy Ingredient Strawberry Fudge so that anyone at any level can enjoy it.
