As you guys know, baking is not my most favorite thing to do, but I never want to deny my sweet tooth. And if I’m being honest, I must admit that there is nothing like creating memories with your family during the holidays with baking and making sweet treats, right?

During last years holiday season, I committed myself to finding and/or creating dessert recipes that pack a whole lot of punch with the least amount of effort. Harper and IV always ask if they can help me bake and cook, especially around this time of year. We all know it’s the busiest time of the year, so I often have to limit our time in the kitchen to just one or two baking sessions for the whole season. I must admit that doing this made me feel pretty bad. I would love to bake more with the kids if it wasn’t such a tedious ordeal.

Luckily, with the addition of Karo^® Light Corn Syrup, I can quickly whip up a batch of my delicious Dark Chocolate Peppermint Fudge in minutes. My mom always used Karo when I was growing up, and I know exactly why. If you want your fudge to have a nice creamy and smooth finish, then using Karo^® Light Corn Syrup is necessary.
