I am so weird sometimes! I wanted to make this 'fantasy fudge' for Christmas. So bought all the ingredients, but never seemed to have the time to make it! The stuff sat on my kitchen counter just staring at me day after day! So I decided today was the day!! Of course, I remember making it years ago...it was always known as the 'No fail fudge' and that was what I needed. My mother always made homemade fudge, she would cook it on the stove, then just butter a plate and poured it out on it! It was amazing!!! I tried and tried to no avail! I'd be cooking it, and drop some in a glass of cold water hoping it would reach the soft ball stage. (One of my sister-in-laws even bought me a candy thermometer.) Even with that I couldn't get it to harden up. 😟 I'd usually use it as chocolate syrup in our milk ..ha!. But this fudge always turned out wonderful! Like all things...something has changed! The marshmallow cream jar looked smaller..but the sugar, butter and can milk seemed to be the same...as well as the chocolate chips. So, I got my 9x13" pan out and was ready to butter it...when I read the tiny directions on the jar..that said to use a 9" square pan, and to line it with foil. I figured it would be really thick! But it isn't much different! I don't have the old-original recipe, as I always took it off the marshmallows creme jar! Have any of you made it before?? Has the recipe changed over the years? (By the way, it tastes yummy...as you can see I had to sample it! ha!)
Tomorrow I'm going to make (with the help of my neighbor girl Krystal ) a batch of Taco Soup. I will share the recipe (if it turns out good!) ~smile~ It's called 7 Can Chicken Taco Soup! I love the fact it is mostly canned ingredients! I'm excited! Especially on a cold winters day! Our weather was warmer today! We were 21 above zero!! Yeah!! But....tonight it will be -6 below....uggg With a high of 9 tomorrow ! So, soup does sound really good!
I will say goodnight and leave you with this picture of Rusty all snuggled up with his new Christmas toy...
Bye for now ☃️
