Super Easy Fudge and Sadie's Easy Fudge


I don't know about y'all, but about this time of year we end up with odds and ends of candy from now through Christmas.  This is a great way to use some of that extra candy and share it with others.  This makes the perfect amount for gift giving - not too much or too little.  Just right!  Cut this into squares and place in a pretty plate or container lined with wax paper, parchment paper or a paper doily.  This makes 2+ pounds of fudge - depending on what you stir in.  The cost runs about $5.00 - $6.00 - again, depending on what you add to the fudge. Watch for a sale on the chocolate chips and milk, especially the time of year. Or, there are some good store brands of both these ingredients.


Super Easy Fudge with Butterfingers
and Cocoa-coated Truffles ("hiding" at the back of the plate)

Super Easy Fudge

One 12-ounce package (2 C.) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups chopped nuts or candy bars

Coat a foil-lined 8 inch square pan with cooking spray; set aside.

Conventional method:
In a double boiler, melt chips and milk. Stir until smooth. Add nuts and vanilla.

Microwave method:
Melt chips with milk on 50 percent power, 3 to 5 minutes. Stirring once while cooking. Add in vanilla.

Pour into pan, pop in the fridge and chill until set.

Variations:

Super Easy Truffles - Make balls from the set fudge using a melon baller or small cookie dough scoop. Roll balls in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, confectioner’s sugar, or flaked coconut.

Here's a re-post of some fudge I made this summer from another easy recipe my sweet  friend, Julie, shared with me!

Sadie's Easy Fudge

Sadie’s Easy Fudge

Per Julie’s recommendation, I made this using the Heath Toffee Bits. Delicious!!

Melt 1 stick butter in med. sauce pan on low heat.

Add:

4 Tbsp. buttermilk,
4 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder,
1 tsp. vanilla
1 box of powdered sugar

Optional:
Add one cup of nuts or 1/2 bag of Heath Toffee Chip.
As a garnish, sprinkle top with a bit of the Toffee chips or chopped nuts.

Stir, and pour into an 8x8 wax paper lined pan. (I lined my pan with foil, and sprayed it with cooking spray. Either way works great! Just use what you have on hand.)
Sprinkle with garnish. Refrigerate.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T. Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9. This recipe has been in my family for many years.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
