I just love limes. They are just so good. They are a tantalizing treat for even the most discriminating palate. They are soft, creamy and sweet with just the right amount of lime juice to satisfy that tang we desire!! Today though was all about this Quick and Easy Key Lime Fudge! No Key Limes in your neck of the woods right now? No problem just use your standard run of the mill limes. They have lip smacking goodness too!
This fudge is so easy and virtually foolproof. This Quick and Easy Key Lime Fudge is your answer to beautiful creamy delicious fudge with very little effort. No candy thermometer, no broken arm, and no messed up fudge that you have to find a home for!! This super easy fudge can be whipped up in about 15 minutes and that includes the seven minutes to cook the graham cracker crust.
It is perfect for Christmas, Valentines Day or maybe just because it is your darling daughters birthday and she is a huge lime lover too! Are you a lime and lemon lover? Which is your favorite? I love both but I prefer limes. When I was around five years old my parents took us to Mazatlan Mexico and for some reason the highlight of that vacation for me was the most delicious limeade I have ever had. I still remember it to this day. But I was so young that I did not think to ask for the recipe! DARN IT!
