Fudge

I've made it a tradition for myself that every year I'm going to make fudge. The first year I just made the plane kind and then I figured out how to branch out. I experimented with different flavors and I found quite a few that I really like. For the past two years I've had the help of my friend and distant cousin, Natalie. Her payoff is that she gets to go home with a nice mix of fudge and she doesn't have to mess up her kitchen. Now who do you think is the smarter of the two :)

This year we made eight batches. There were two batches of plain, two of nuts, one raspberry, one cherry, one mint and one peppermint with little chunks of peppermint candy in it. It all turned out great and we all loved eating it. I like to give it away for the holidays and there was just enough for everyone I wanted it for.



After Christmas Wal-mart has all their Christmas merchandise on sale and this year I bought up ALL of their cookie tins in preparation for next year. I love having everything ready and having Natalie to help makes it tons more fun! Until next year...
