Recipe: Love After Lockup Jailhouse Fudge

My boyfriend is in prison and that means I know how to make prison recipes. This jailhouse fudge is a staple that they all love and I have to admit – it’s tasty!

My latest favorite reality show is Love After Lockup - it is THE BEST! And I happen to know someone who knows someone who knows someone that's in prison. And I got an authentic recipe that they make in the big house! This is ingenuity at its finest. And the thing is - you are going to love it! It's so delicious!!!! You will love this fudge - maybe more than I love the show! #loveafterlockup #felonfudge #prisonrecipe

We have deemed this “Felon Fudge”. He said it’s more a cookie bar than actual fudge – but it’s what they call it. I have to say – you’re going to love it!!!

(And check out my St. Patrick’s Day version!)

I mean seriously – you know you want to dive in?! It’s perfect to make this Valentine’s day! It’s definitely rich – but I love that you can cut the pieces up pretty small and make it last. I keep mine in the fridge because I like the peanut butter layer nice and cold!

How do you make Jailhouse Fudge?

For the base of the fudge – I splurged and used Oreos – but my friend actually uses Duplex cookies because they can buy a full package for much cheaper at their store.

Next – mix that with creamer – again I used liquid creamer – but they only have access to the powdered creamer and mix it with hot water. Then you add the peanut butter/creme filling layer and top it with trail mix. I used my favorite Monster Mix from Target.

So now – you can make an authentic prison recipe in the comfort of your own home! Make a batch of this and watch Love After Lockup on Friday nights – it’s so good!!! (This is not a sponsored post – I just freakin love this show!)
