This coffee caramel fudge is rich, chewy, and unapologetically indulgent. It’s what happens when bold espresso, buttery caramel, and creamy chocolate form an alliance. The deep coffee flavor cuts through the sweetness, while the caramel adds a velvety smoothness that melts in your mouth. It’s decadent, dangerously easy to eat, and completely addictive. Perfect for gifting, stress eating, or hoarding for yourself. You’ll need minimal effort but maximum self-control to resist eating the whole batch. Go ahead, make it—but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
