Root Beer Float Fudge Recipe - Must Have Mom

I love Root Beer. Root Beer Floats are a favorite of mine. They bring me back to my childhood. That is what inspired me to create this yummy Root Beer Float Fudge recipe! Root Beer and Vanilla ice cream flavors swirl together to create fudge that tastes just like a Root Beer Float!

Root Beer Float Fudge With McCormick Root Beer Concentrate

In 1889, Willoughby M. McCormick went door to door selling one of McCormick & Company’s first products, Root Beer Extract. From there, the product quickly rose in popularity and led to a trending sensation of root beer floats and root beer home brewing in the early 1900s. Have you ever made homemade root beer? It’s amazing! You can make homemade root beer with the McCormick Root Beer Extract!

    My favorite #flavorstory I have is my grandmother has a REALLY good recipe for homemade chocolate. She would make this using the McCormick Vanilla Flavoring! She also uses cocoa. I cannot put the recipe, she would be mad, however its just always a great memory with her making this homemade chocolate! The vanilla flavoring adds SO much flavor!! mmm Thank you!

    I used to love going to sleep over at my cousins house when I was little because they always made french toast with vanilla extract. For some reason my parents rarely made french toast, and when they did, they didnt use vanilla.

    I love making a box of good old mac n cheese, and adding sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and cheddar cheese. Absolutely amazing! Needless to say, my thighs don’t like it, so I don’t make it often. But I’m telling you it’s comfort food at it’s finest!

    OMG there is no better treat on a hot summer’s day than a root beer float and ours has to be made with vanilla bean ice cream. I’ve been using McCormick’s spices and extracts for many years. My #flavorstory is when I make my homemade cheesecake I add McCormick’s lemon extract and freshly grated lemon zest to the recipe.

    Which #FlavorStory to share….? When me and my sibling were young, we always had root beer floats on special occasions. My parents would hide off in the kitchen and tell us it was a secret recipe. And the recipe only worked on special days, which is why we couldn’t have root beer floats every day;)
