Apple Fudge Bars for Rosh Hashanah

Let the kids cook up a sweet New Year treat with a few common ingredients and just the microwave. This easy to make fudge is wonderful for sharing with friends and neighbors or as a post-seder sweet treat.

We've included two different no-bake versions below that any kid comfortable using a microwave can try out. Version one uses just two ingredients that are easy to find in most grocery stores and can be adapted to create a variety of flavor combinations to enjoy at different points during the year.

The second version is still easy to make but requires a few more steps and a little bit of extra adult supervision to make. You'll know which one works best for your family.
