I've been craving the sweet stuff, the Christmas cookies, the boxes of Hershey's Pot O Gold, and yes, the fudge! Fudge!!
My aunt made me my own small tupperware of her delightful fudge one year for Christmas, and it was one of the best gifts ever! I try to make at least one batch each Christmas season, and whenever I do, I think of my aunt. :)
For me, the sweetest one-minute vacations usually involve memories of family and treats.
Now, I realize not everyone loves fudge the way I do, so here is a lovely slice of chocolate cake instead.
And if you don't like chocolate, how about sugar cookies?
Thanks so much for sharing a fudgy minute with m. Lindsay Harrel is hosting me today at her blog! We're talking about Secret Santas, and I'll bet you'll never guess what I do about them. Stop by and find out! :)
Do you like fudge? What's your favorite Christmas treat?
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Someone brought a plate of fudge to church last week. My fifteen-year-old son ate about six pieces. I kept telling him he was going to make himself sick, but he felt fine. I like fudge, too, but in much smaller quantities. :)
ReplyDeleteTeenage boys have iron stomachs. It's the only explanation! I would get sick!! :)
DeleteI love fudge. Have a very quick,easy, and no fail recipe that can be tailored with favorite additions.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about quick, easy, and no fail! I usually make my fudge with chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. It's delicious and always turns out!
DeleteThat's the recipe I use plus a gazillion variations
DeleteI don't know if I can pick a fave...I love these three layer bars my mom makes. And bing bars. And puppy chow. And Chex mix. And, yeah...pretty much all of it! :)
ReplyDeleteOoo, yum! What are Bing Bars? They sound good, like when you take a bite your eyes light up and you say, "Bing!":)
DeleteYum! I'm not huuuuuge on the fudge, but I do like a piece or two. It's too rich for me to eat a whole bunch. But I love frosted sugar cookies. I really hope my MIL makes me some this year. Haha.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to have you as my guest today!
Frosted sugar cookies are too good! I can't wait to start baking. :) Thanks for having me on your blog, Lindsay!
DeleteJill, I love fudge and am getting fatter just looking at all those yummy pictures. Tell you what, I'll share my mom's recipe for dream cookies, if you'll share your aunt's recipe for fudge?
ReplyDeleteThat's the good thing about pictures of fudge, Rue, they are calorie-free! :)
DeleteI make an odd cookie here and there...and a bit of cake. But I recently discovered white chocolate candy cane bark. Melt white chocolate, add crushed candy cane, spread it on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and chill. THEN send yourself into sugar shock!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love peppermint bark! It's soooo good! :)
DeleteI LOVE fudge--but for us it's more a summertime treat. Weird, huh? But we get it on the boardwalk by the beach. The Fudge Kitchen. (They deliver) just sayin'
ReplyDeleteI love rum balls around the holidays. So chocolate, so dense. Mmm..
I hear you on fudge and summertime. Mackinaw Island in Michigan is famous for it--sooo yummy! I've never had a rum ball. I must try one!
