Today we’re celebrating National Fudge Day because this traditional holiday candy deserves a holiday of its own!

You can pick any vegan fudge recipe off our list to join the festivities! We’ve got everything from classic fudge (mostly made without baking and with less than 10 ingredients), to ice cream (are you a fudgesicle, or a hot fudge person?) to cookies and cake recipes that heavily rely on fudge. Side note: most of the recipes on today’s list are gluten-free and super easy to make!
