Fudge is a soft, creamy, and sweet candy made from sugar, butter, and milk or cream. It’s typically very rich and is eaten all on its own! Chocolate icing (also called chocolate frosting) is used to top cakes, cookies, brownies, and other baked goods.  While I won’t judge you for eating my chocolate icing recipe with a spoon, it’s usually used to add a little something extra to a variety of desserts.
