More About This Recipe

  • There are those that truly appreciate the fine thing that is whiskey. Those that appreciate the history, the tradition, the craftsmanship that goes into each sip. I am not one of them. I want to be one of them. I truly appreciate a beautifully-made, complicated liquor. And whiskey is the drink of authors and presidents and actors and artists. But whiskey is one I don’t touch because of that time in college. Seriously. That’s why. To re-introduce myself to an entire world (I think it’s fair to say that whiskey is an entire world), this Copycat Jack Daniel’s™ fudge does the trick. It is the true taste and flavor of whiskey delivered by sweet, chocolate fudge—also known as the perfect combination of drink and dessert. I would be remiss if I didn’t warn you that this fudge is strong. It’s not so much fudge with a hint of whiskey, but a shot of whiskey with a hint of fudge! And without heat, the alcohol is not burned off. Ergo, please make sure anyone who tries a bite knows what is in it. And while I did consider how well my kids might sleep from this treat, I kept this fudge well outside their reach. Not my reach, though.
