Lemon Fudge

Lemon fudge combines a silky smooth white chocolate fudge with the vibrant taste of tart lemons. This refreshing candy has just the right combination of sweet and sour citrus. The contrast between the creamy texture and the refreshingly tart lemon flavor is terrific!

This recipe calls for citric acid, which accentuates the tartness of the lemon flavoring. Citric acid can be found in many specialty baking stores and large grocery stores—find it in the bulk spices section of a nearby grocery store. It can be omitted if you can't find it, and your fudge will be a little less tart.
