FUDGE ICING “I am not a big chocolate person but when I saw the recipe for Homemade Fudge Icing in my feed on face book I knew I had to try it. I had made brownies for my husband and decided to try the recipe on them. I was NOT disappointed! Recipe was easy to put together and the taste was, well to die for! My husband thought I had bought them! There is nothing better in this world then a recipe that is quick, easy and tastes like you spent all day making it!
