Mom's Million Dollar Fudge

My gift to you:  the yummiest Christmas treat, ever! 

 Ingredients :   4 & 1/2 cups sugar, 1 stick butter, 1 can evaporated milk
 Melt these items over medium heat in a 3qt. pot.  Bring to a boil.  When the mixture  begins to boil, set a timer for 8 minutes.  Stir constantly! 

 More Ingredients:  12 oz. Hershey's chocolate bar (it really must be Hershey's), 12 oz. chocolate chips (vary the flavors for interesting fudge), 1pt. (I use 14 oz.) marshmallow creme

When the timer dings, remove the pot from burner.  Add the chocolate bar pieces, chocolate chips and marshmallow creme.  STIR.  The fudge will be creamy, sliding out of the pot.  (Grab a spoonful; warm and gooey, it is the best!)  Pour the fudge into glass dishes, prepared previously with a slick of butter (the stick paper works great in this case).  

This recipe will fill a 9x13 inch pan and an 8x8 inch pan.  To store, cover the dishes tightly.  Fudge may be cut before gift wrapping.

Yummy!

Is Anybody Out There?

*Post Title Tune:  "Foolin" by Def Leppard*

Like many 'mommy bloggers', I started my blog as a way to capture the moment.  As we've all discovered, it can become a whole other thing; at times we dive in and pass the meme or host a give-a-way, sometimes we pull back and take a break.

I miss a bunch of you!!!  I haven't given anybody much to read lately, or to remember.  But summer is here!

Please, leave a comment and let me know you are out there!  I'll drop by your place with a smile.

Fudge-a-licious!

DollyGirl and I made fudge today. The recipe has been handed down from my mama and is a lip-smacking holiday tradition. I'd like to say "Thanks" to Blogdom for the fun that's been had in '07 by sharing the recipe!

Step One:
4 & 1/2 cups sugar
1 can evaporated milk
1 stick butter
Pour these ingredients into a large pot and melt on medium to high heat. Stir!! When it reaches a boil, turn the heat on high and keep stirring for 8 minutes. This is critical! The mixture will become frothy.

Step Two:
When the 8 minutes are up, move the pot to a cool burner and add---
12 oz. chocolate chips (you can substitute any flavor and change the fudge)
1 pint marshmallow creme
8 Hershey Bars ( approximately 12 oz. of this candy bar...you might be tempted to do a substitution here, but do NOT! Trust me.)
STIR!

If everything cooked correctly, the fudge will be heavy, creamy and will slide easily into a pan. I use butter to minimally grease the bottom of a pyrex dish. This recipe will fill one 9x13 dish and one 8x8 dish.

***The cook reserves the right to lick the stirring spoon; warm fudge is a heavenly treat!

"Nice" is a very good word...
