This easy Caramel S'mores Fudge is loaded with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate. It makes a great treat to package up and gift to friends and family.
*This post was sponsored by the J.M. Smucker Company. I am partnering with them this fall as a brand ambassador creating recipes from products they send me.
Fall has officially made its way to the midwest. Wearing jeans and sweatshirts all the time has finally commenced. It has been cooler during the day and very chilly at night. We actually woke up to frost on the ground this morning.
It is the perfect weather for snuggling under a blanket with a hot cup of coffee. My favorite drink of the fall season is a salted caramel mocha latte. Now that I can recreate the coffee shop drink though, I try to drink them all year round, but for some reason they taste the best in the fall.
I think it is all mental. Chilly weather + sweatshirts = hot caramel coffee love. It's just how my brain works.
I told you last week that I had another delicious fudge recipe for you. Another thing that tends to happen more often in the fall is fudge.
All the fall craft fairs and festivals have different flavors of fudge ready to go. I love going to these events just to see all the fun new flavor combos that everyone comes up with.
Although I really think fudge should be more of a thing all year round, right? Those little sugary cubes of goodness shouldn't have a fall and holiday limit to them. Let's all unite and make fudge every month.
This month Pillsbury sent me a fun box of baking supplies. As soon as I saw the caramel frosting, I knew fudge was happening.
The only thing I wasn't sure of was how to jazz it up. It didn't take me too long to think about s'mores-itizing it. And yes, that's my own word there.
Chocolate, grahams, and marshmallows just make everything better in my mind. Just look at these s'mores cookie cups. A s'mores combo is a fun way to make any treat that much better.
Did you know that the Pillsbury Dough Boy just celebrated his 50th birthday? The cute, chubby icon has been doing commercials and getting his belly poked for half a century.
I think a birthday like that needs to be celebrated with a big plate of fudge!!!

Hello, this fudge looks amazing. Sadly, I cannot find the caramel frosting anywhere. Can you recommend a caramel frosting recipe to use in place of? Not sure if the Pillsbury version is a buttercream type or....
Jocelyn
I did a google search and the Pillsbury frosting is still made and sold, but it may depend on your area. My local stores here actually don't carry it here either. Did you check all the other frosting brands? I think Duncan Hines has a canned caramel frosting too. It's a buttercream base frosting, but I have never tried to make this fudge using a homemade frosting.

What a great flavor for fudge! I'm going to have to add this to my holiday baking list!
Sarah @ The Gold Lining Girl
I just recently learned how to make fudge from prepared frosting and it is a total game-changer for me! It's the quickest and easiest fudge ever! Such a versatile recipe to use any flavor of frosting too. I love how you combined s'mores fixings (one of my favorite desserts of all-time) with caramel! That sounds incredible!
Jocelyn
It's one of my favorite ways to make fudge!!! Love that it sets up every single time!!!
Julianne @ Beyond Frosting
This fudge is calling my name!

Jocelyn
I have a way of sneaking s'mores into everything 😉

Brilliant way to get that caramel frosting in there, Jocelyn! This looks incredible. And it really is getting cold, so this is even better fudge for sweater weather!

What a fun use of that yummy frosting. I haven't seen that flavor but I'll be keeping my eye out. As someone who actually TRIED this fudge, I can say it's amazing. It's flavor is so rich, and the texture is perfect. 🙂
