Make the festive season even more festive<\/strong><\/p>\n

The calendar has flipped to December and you know what that means. Parties. Lots and lots of parties. And while we all look forward to going out and having a good time with friends and family, it\u2019s not always easy to think of a nice gift to bring the hosts. Until now. This week I\u2019m happy to share the recipe for Rocky Road Cream Cheese Fudge<\/strong><\/a>, which, I have to tell you, is as good as it sounds.<\/p>\n

Featuring Canadian Cream cheese, this particular recipe has a lot going for it. Yes, it\u2019s positively mouth-watering, but it\u2019s also fast and easy to prepare, which is something you\u2019ll appreciate during the holiday season when time is at a premium. Plus, it pairs extremely well with two bottles in particular.<\/p>\n

My first recommendation is a port called Noval Black<\/strong><\/a>. Made from traditional Douro grape varieties, its fig and raisin aromas really complement the fudge. And my second recommendation is the well-balanced and truly exceptional G. Marquis The Silver Line Vidal Icewine<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to a magical December!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
