Hello Friends! Can you believe that we are already into the holiday season? It always comes upon us so fast, doesn’t it? I love the decor, parties and time together with family that the holiday season brings, but I have to admit that things can get a little stressful at times too.
One thing I have learned is that if I keep the decor projects and recipes simple, I am truly able to slow down and enjoy the moment. I always keep a couple of simple recipe ingredients from Nestlé on hand to make beautiful holiday desserts for all of the parties and gatherings we host and go to at gatherings.
By knowing in advance what I will make and the ingredients I will need, this really helps tremendously so I can bring something special to share at the party.
This Mexican Hot Chocolate Fudge recipe is one of those recipes.
Nestlé ingredients helps me create my own twist on traditional recipes so easily, I always keep them on hand for dessert emergencies.
We love making this Mexican fudge dessert and changing it up for a great-tasting treat all year round because it is so simple to make.
It is so convenient to have the ingredients on hand, ready at a moment's notice for any event, or even as a gift idea. Saving time with recipes like this allows us more time for the moments that matter.

Fun Serving Suggestion
You can also top it with a little Nestlé La Lechera Dulce de Leche to take it up a notch. I put a little in a decorator bag and squeeze on top of cooled fudge.
So good!
This Mexican Hot Chocolate Fudge dessert will not only make an unforgettable dessert, but it is a great gift idea too! Just put the cooled and cut fudge into a parchment-lined box or individual bags and wrap. My friends love receiving these treats!
