One of the best fall treats – homemade caramel apple fudge! This fudge reminds me of those green caramel apple suckers! Make easy fudge with marshmallows and white chocolate chip. Add in apple cider drink mix to get that caramel apple flavor!
For as long as I can remember, I have loved those green caramel apple suckers. The ones that are flat, with the green sour apple candy that’s dipped in caramel. I don’t know why, but there’s something about the combination of sour and sweet. And admittedly I like the ones that have more caramel the best.
If someone was to hand me one right now, I would instantly open it and put it in my mouth. I feel weird admitting that I’m an adult and I like suckers :D
This fudge reminds me of those suckers!
To achieve that sour apple taste, this recipe calls for 3 packets of apple cider drink mix. You can find this near the tea and hot cocoa mix in your grocery store. I actually use the same apple cider drink mix in these caramel apple snickerdoodles which are SO good!
This fudge is definitely something you could make in the morning and serve in the afternoon. The actual cooking of the fudge only takes 15 minutes and we recommend putting the fudge in the fridge for 3 hours to set before cutting it into pieces.
Of course this caramel apple fudge wouldn’t be complete without the caramel, and when you swirl the two together, you get this fun combination of flavors!
