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!
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!

This looks so good!! Anything with a fudge pairing is yum!!
Lately I absolutely love merengues and I like to add lemon extracts. #FlavorStory
We make a shepards pie using my boyfriend’s moms recipe but to make it healthy we use ground turkey and sweet potatoes (using chicken stock to mash them and make them savory) It’s our favorite!! #flavorstory
Oh man, this sounds heavenly! I love root beer floats!
#flavorstory I would love to try root beer fudge! I have always loved root beer floats, I remember my mom used to make them for me in wooden handcarved tiki mugs. Now, I prefer them blended so you get the creamy & rootbeer in every sip- just like this fudge!
#flavorstory I LIKE JELLY MIXED IN A BOWL WITH PEANUT BUTTER
#flavorstory I love black pepper on my food, especially in soup.

We grew up eating chocolate gravy (made with McCormick vanilla extract every time) #flavorstory.
I love homemade bread pudding #flavorstory
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!
My children are obsessed with maple so we have recently been replacing vanilla with it, that is my #flavorstory
I love baking lemon cookies with my son #flavorstory
I love making french toast and putting some vanilla in it! #flavorstory
Wow this is something different to def try. I have been making homemade fudge with peanut butter. I added red food coloring to mine to make it red for Valentines day and I put sprinkles in it. Everyone loved it. #flavorstory
I like making mini mint chocolate chip cheesecakes with my son. #flavorstory
What a fun idea. We recently made root beer cookies but your fudge sounds better.
My #flavorstory is making peanut butter fudge with my grandma! I’m the only grandchild that has her recipe
Probably would have to be my wedding cake story someone close to me did not like my choice of strawberry filling and coconut topping. I went with it anyways cause it’s what I like. We’ll my family still talks about how amazing it was! #flavorstory
McCormick is my favorite brand that I use all the time when I bake my Sweet Potato pies. Now I will be searching for your McCormick Root Beer Extract so I can make a root bear float for my son. #flavorstory

I’m not a fan of root beer but that actually looks pretty good!
I remeber way back in the 70’s my mom would put McCormick’s vanilla flavoring and a cherry in a coke. Then she would put it in a little schnapps glass for us. We thought that was the best thing ever.
#flavorstory We make Cowboy Stew, beef chunks, potatoes and onions in a rich beef gravy. YUM!
dr. pepper and milk actually really good
This sounds like a good combo! I love scrambled eggs and jelly….that might be weird I don’t know.
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.
Ohhh This can be made along with the Rootbeer Float Cake recipe I have!! Thank you for a chance and the yummy looking recipe!
There goes my diet! This looks delicious. I can’t wait to make this!
My #flavorstory is our yearly Easter tradition of making orange creamsicle meringue pies. YUM!
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!

I love homemade Root Beer. Reminds me of family bbq’s and summertime! #flavorstory
Oh wow, this reminds me of going to Maid Rite diner in Moline, IL with my dad growing up. I loved the root beer floats there! #flavorstory
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.
I remember as a kid on hot summer days we would have rootbeer floats #flavorstory
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;)
Going to buy all the ingredients NOW!! Can’t wait to try this. Looks so yummy!
**Wow, root beer flavoring McCormick has hit an all time high in available flavoring. I’m going to use it to make a root beer floal, check out all their flavorings. #flavorstory
