We love a good hot chocolate any time of the year.
But when the temperatures reach 100*...
a HOT chocolate just isn't going to cut it.
Cold hot chocolate's are pretty good,
but sometimes you just want more to bite into.
I always associated fudge with Christmas...
it seems like growing up that was the only time I ever ate it.
But now I think we need to have fudge more often.
So, to combat my craving for hot chocolate and to get more fudge in my diet,
I decided to combine the two together.
And the cookie crust, well it had nothing to do with either...
it just happened.
This just might be my favorite fudge right now.
Soft and marshmallowy...sweet and crunchy...chocolatey and creamy!
Oh, fudge, now I'm craving it all over again:-)
And of course I never did buy another mocha packet.
This could be bad...

Thanks for that great recipe. I know what you mean about the 100 plus weather! ugh. I am definitely going to try this, if not just for the mocha frosting! Yummy.

Jocelyn! This fudge is screaming my name. I've seen the Duncan Hines frosting creations out there but haven't ever tried them! And I love all of the yummy layers in your fudge too! I'm a offer addict so you had me at the word 'mocha" 🙂
Emily Dicks

Jocelyn
Believe me, you won't want to stop at just one:-)
Something Swanky
SOOOO decadent! And, girl, I cannot even tell you how much I love crust on fudge! I don't know who got me started on that (I'm thinking Dorothy?) But I'll never make fudge without a crust again!
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl
What a great idea! I love, love, love hot cocoa, but yeah--it's been 100+ here for a week solid, so...I'll have to make this fudge instead! It looks so creamy and perfect! And what a great idea to use those flavor packets. I bought one a few weeks ago and have been "saving" it for some reason??? I guess I need to get it out of the pantry and put it to good use!
Aimee
This looks so yummy! I love fudge, and I think I need this one in my life, soon! Thanks for sharing, and the shout out 🙂
Call me cookie
Why is it we only eat fudge once a year? It should be eaten daily like a vitamin! Love this fudge. But who wouldn't?
Jocelyn
We definitely need fudge to be around more often...daily sounds just about right:-)

I love your version of "hot chocolate" - yum!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
You gave a fudge a crust. I heart you! 🙂 This is amazing fudge, what a great way to use those packets. I think I might need more fudge in my life too... 🙂
(Thanks for the shout out too!!)
Carole
Looks great and so naughty! I found you via Melt in Your Mouth Monday. I linked up a simple egg salad sandwich filling.
Have a super week.

This looks so sinfully delicious! Nice pics!
Hayley
Yum, I love that you're the mocha fudge queen! I love me my mochas 🙂 this fudge looks so rich and creamy... love the marshmallow addition! (Oh, and I totally went against the weather today and had a hot chocolate--uncomfortable to drink but man, are they good!)
Jocelyn
I'm liking the mocha queen status that you have given me...although now I feel the urge to have to make tons more mocha treats:-) Hot chocolate are really good...even when hot outside
Jenn
This sounds truly sinful and I really wish I had a piece right now!
