Christmas Time is hereeeeeee

I learned how to make fudge at my friend's house tonight!

First you boil sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Bring to a rolling boil.


Something like this. Be careful! There's a good chance that some of the hot mixture will jump out at you. I learned this the hard way, learn from my mistakes.



Next swirl in Baker's semi-sweet chocolate squares and marshmellow creme. (Yes this is super high in calories and sugar. Share with friends!)

Pour the fudge into a foil-lined pan for easy clean-up.

Smooth out with a spoon and place in the fridge overnight. I will sample some tomorrow. Not too much though. I'm actually not a big fan of fudge.

Next we made sugar cookies. (And ate some amazing pizza. Such a good eating day! lol)

Iced them with homemade icing (butter, powdered sugar and nonfat milk whipped with food coloring.)

My favorite shapes are the stars. I don't want to eat them! What's your favorite kind of cookie?

Next holiday treat: Homemade popcorn balls. (I've never made these, have any of you?)
