Erika over at Tummy Treasure received my package yesterday! Yay! You can read her post about it here.
The best ginger cookies EVAH! were a big hit. Thanks again to Music and Cats for sharing. 🙂
Erika also seemed to enjoy my chocolate peanut butter fudge, which (thankfully) turned out okay on the third try. 😉 My first try was edible but too soft. The second try went directly into the garbage…it carmelized or something. This one, while not perfect, was both edible and firm enough to cut. 😉
Here’s the fudge recipe, courtesy of my parents, if anyone’s brave enough to try!
- 1 box powdered sugar
- 1/8 to 1/4 cup baking chocolate (the more, the darker)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- peanut butter…approximately 12 ounces
- 1 stick of cheap margarine (My dad, who is the reigning fudge-making master, swears by this. He uses Blue Bonnet)
- 2-5 T milk (dad always uses regular milk. I used evaporated milk in my most successful attempt. feel free to experiment)
Melt the peanut butter, margarine, vanilla, and chocolate together, until silky smooth
Next, add about 2/3 of the powdwered sugar and mix until it’s a paste…make sure all the lumps are out
Add 1 tbsp of the milk and start adding, SLOWLY, the remaining powdered sugar, stirring as you add…as it starts to get dry add another tbsp of milk. From here, add milk as you think it needs it, for the correct texture.
Spread into a small, deep dish. A square or small rectangular cake pan will work. Chill.
That’s it for now…more later! 🙂
This is really a lot of fun for me. I enjoy getting these recipes from you. I appreciate your sharing your recipes.
MMM! This is fantastic peanut butter fudge! In fact, I just savored the last piece for breakfast, and now I’m off to purchase ingredients. So good. Thanks again!
I wish was was home–I think I would have a baking buddy–finally!
You are really getting into baking goodies and enjoying making some great cookies.
