Root Beer FLoat Fudge

I am very fortunate to have both a brother and a sister close in age. I always had a playmate growing up that made life a lot of fun.  Summer time was one of my favorite times.  When school was out we would play with the neighborhood kids until my dad whistled for us to come home.  We had so many adventures.  Our adventures kept us hungry and thirty and craving sweets.  I remember my dad making homemade Root Beer Floats for my brother, sister and I.   He used homemade ice-cream that my mom would start in the morning before she headed to work. Root Beer Floats meant summer time!

Root Beer Concentrate

McCormick is celebrating their 125th anniversary celebration this year. Can you believe it?  I have grown up with McCormick spices and my spice rack is full of them. To celebrate their anniversary McCormick wants to showcase their , Flavor of Together program. Launched in Dec. 2013, the , Flavor of Together program aims to start a global conversation about food and flavor by asking people to share their experiences with one another. The program is also a way to give back; for every story shared, McCormick will donate $1, up to $1.25 million to United Way to help feed those in need.

Root Beer Fudge

I wanted to recreate my fond memories of root beer floats with my siblings in a less melty way that is perfect for spring, so I came up with root beer float fudge!

Sneaky Snacker

As you can see, it was a huge hit in our home.  I had a hard time keeping my daughter away from the goods to take take photos.  It is fabulous with a bottle of milk!

Broken Fudge

It really does taste like a root beer float.  My husband mentioned it right away before I could tell him what I was trying to recreate.  The use of McCormick’s Root Beer Extract brings it to a soda shop level. Root Beer Extract was one of McCormick’s first products in the late 1800s. The product quickly rose in popularity and led to a trending sensation of root beer floats and even root beer home brewing in the early 1900s.
