This coffee fudge recipe is one that my son, Jackson, and I worked on together. After several efforts, we decided this version was a winner. It is smooth, creamy and has an irresistible crunch from pecans. The coffee and cinnamon blend nicely to provide subtle flavor. —Beth Osborne Skinner, Bristol, Tennessee

Coffee Fudge Tips

How can you make the coffee flavor stronger?

If you'd like a stronger coffee flavor, you can add more brewed coffee or try experimenting with espresso granules or coffee extract. If you've got any leftover cup of Joe to spare, use it up in these recipes that use brewed coffee.

Can you freeze fudge to make it set faster?

We do not recommend freezing fudge to make it set faster. We recommend making the fudge ahead of when you need it so it has enough time to set in the refrigerator. Alternatively, if your fudge is too hard, you can soften it by leaving it on the counter at room temperature.

How do you store coffee fudge?

Like most other fudge recipes, you can store your coffee fudge in a covered container at room temperature (around 70°-80°).
