Story

If you would like to join the fruitcake fan club, but never quite have gotten a yen for it, here's a solution. Combine fruitcake with everyone's favorite... FUDGE! I much prefer the creamy fudge-fruitcake combination over the traditional cake-type fruitcake. Call me crazy, but I think surrounding anything in fudge makes it better!
