This is the fudge recipe your Grandma would make if your Grandma really loved Seattle’s Best Coffee® Toasted Hazelnut Blend. Yes, our Hazelnut Coffee Fudge takes everything wonderful about fudge (butter, sugar, cocoa) and jazzes it up with notes of rich hazelnut coffee. Follow the recipe below and don't be shy about adding the "optional" ground coffee. You won't regret it. And be sure to make a double batch for sharing with friends and family — just like Grandma would do.
