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!

  22. 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;)
