Bourbon Salted Caramel Fudge

I’m not going to lie to you. I almost wrote this recipe off as a total, ugh-inducing recipe fail.

But apparently my candy thermometer was a bit off, because I pulled them off the heat too soon and ended up with fudge. Watching them set up, I could tell they weren’t right and I got super frustrated. But then…THEN….we tried them. And they were so absolutely amazing that I couldn’t NOT share them with you guys. Enter: bourbon salted caramel FUDGE!
