This Easy Christmas Fudge Belongs in All of Your Friends' Stockings This Year

What's Christmas without some festive sweets? When it comes to getting into the full holiday spirit, there's nothing like some delicious Christmas desserts to remind you of the magic of the season. There's of course the all-essential Christmas cookies to eat by the fire, and some people (including us!) can never resist a great eggnog recipe — but don't forget about all the scrumptious Christmas candy, either! We've got your basic candy cane you can buy anywhere, obviously, but there's also some incredibly indulgent recipes you can bake at home, from peppermint bark to even eggnog truffles. Because why wouldn't you want to go all-out on the most wonderful time of the year?

Luckily, to help you out with all your candy-feasting this holiday season, we've rounded up all of our favorite homemade Christmas candy recipes right here, from the best fudge recipes to tasty toffee, candied popcorn and more. Not only are these sweet Christmas treats great for munching on while watching this year's Hallmark Christmas movies, they also make for the perfect homemade food gifts for the holidays, especially if you wrap them up in festive tins to give to all your family and friends. And if you wanted to leave some of these DIY Christmas candies out for Santa in place of his usual cookies and milk this year? That’s cool, too — we’re guessing he won’t mind one bit.
