I haven't sat down to do a post in ages!! I guess we are just busy with the everyday things. Enjoying the Grands, doing a little traveling, enjoying the day to day tasks of living...
Our current focus is Christmas. Most of the gifts are wrapped and under the tree. We have gone to usable or consumable items. Everyone has enough 'stuff' to dust. So the presents are wearable, eatable, or tools. Toys also fall under tools for the littles - toys are their tools for learning, growing and fun. The baking and making has started. Today's making was Fantasy Fudge.
Fantasy Fudge
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
3 cups sugar
bring to a full boil and boil for 5 minutes - stirring
Turn off the heat and add:
12 oz of chocolate chips
7 oz marshmallow cream
1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (you can use imitation - the price of real vanilla is off the charts!!)
Stir this all together and pour into a 9x13" pan. I like to do a parchment sling so it lifts out easily for cutting and packaging.
Hope you are having a beautiful season and enjoying some Christmas at your house as well.
