Holiday baking, although exciting and will fill your home with amazing aromas, can be very time consuming and stressful. Every year, my home bakes anything and everything from cookies, to cakes, to pies, and anything in between. Where I work, we receive anything from cookies to cakes, and any sweets from our appreciative clients. So what was I to make for my friends and loved ones that was not part of something they already ate. The answer was simple and in front of me. I made this delicious fudge that is filled with nuts and the most juiciest pomegranate seeds that burst with every bite. The best part of this treat is that it is vegan!!! Try yours today. This dessert will definitely leave an impression with your coworkers and friends.
