Leftover Christmas wafers? Some foodies can't imagine that this would be left over after the festive season. But suppose you do find yourself with them or you can save a nice pack at the supermarket at a discounted price, then this little recipe tipped to us from Goitskes Kitchen is a festive idea. Are you also stuck with leftover chocolate letters and spiced nuts? Good news, those also go perfectly well in this waste-free party fudge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Spill-free Christmas fudge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We'll stick with thegreenlist.nl<\/em> pretty crazy that so much food with holiday branding is sold en masse in the December month. Many of those products are also a lot more expensive than similar products sold all year round without all those cute Christmas images, but that aside. Of course, what is not so sustainable is that after the holidays, all those products are \u2018old\u2019 and hard to sell. They then end up on sale and, at worst, wasted. Thrown away because it can no longer be sold (one thinks). A shame, because those very long-life products are super long-lasting. Even much longer than the \u2018best before\u2019 date indicates. That about that THT date we have investigated in detail before.<\/a> So you can still eat them just fine. Or you can make a tasty fudge out of them. We would love to tell you how to do that, because food waste is not part of the Christmas spirit, but waste-free recipes even more so, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is a fudge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making a fudge out of all the leftover goodies from Christmas and St Nicholas is no punishment. But what exactly is a fudge? It is an umbrella term for sweets made from sugar, butter and (vegan) condensed milk. It has a soft, creamy texture and comes in different flavours and variations. With nuts, chocolate, fruit or like this fudge with leftover goodies from the holidays. It is a bit of a blur where fudge actually comes from. Some people say it is from America<\/a> comes, while others say it has English origins. The legend is that someone once made a failed batch of fudge. The name is said to derive from the English word \u2018fudge\u2019, meaning \u2018to mess\u2019 or \u2018to fiddle\u2019. Enough about the history. Get to work!
