How to Make Your Own Freezer Fudge

Did you know June 16th is National Fudge Day? When it comes to flavor, we’ve never met a fudge we didn’t like.

But sadly, when it comes to our top picks for healthy sweet treats, fudge doesn’t exactly top the list. That’s because this decadent dessert is traditionally made from sugar, butter and milk, which is basically code for lots of fat and calories.
