Boil, boil, boil (you literally stir for 10 minutes)

After almonds are folded in & spread out on cookie sheet

Sprinkled chocolate chips on top instead of chocolate bad pieces

Gooey goodness! 

The stirring part was the only semi-down side, but it tasted YUMMY!

Tomorrow's recipe: Saltine Toffee



Martha Freakin' Stewart (Vol 1)

So as many of you may know I have decided to make a lot of my gifts this year.

Well this weekend I channeled my inner Martha & started gettin' my bake on!

I made a few of these goodies here:

Fudge (multiple yummy kinds)

Saltine Toffee

Rocha Toffee

Rum Balls

Haystacks

Oatmeal Cookies

Funfetti Cookies

Each day I'm going to post a recipe of what I've made with pictures of how the process should go!

Today's recipe:

Fudge

Here's what you'll need:

1 cup - Cream

1/2 stick - Butter

4 cups - Marshmallows

3 cups - Chocolate Chips

Pinch of salt

In a medium saucepan simmer cream, butter, marshmallows & salt until creamy.

Off heat add in chocolate chips until smooth & evenly mixed. Pour into 9x13 foil lined cake pan. Let stand until firms up (I let mine set up for 12 hours)

First I line my cake pan, it's easy to do that first

Make sure to constantly stir, because the cream & marshmallows will expand quickly

(Almost done)

When chocolate has melted it's time to pour into pan 

Looks YUMMY! 

~~~~~~~~~~

This is when I made it with white chocolate chips 

I smashed mini candy canes w/ my rolling pin to put top  

See, looks AMAZING! (added a few sprinkles for glitz) 

This was SO simple I practically smacked myself for not making it before now!

Tomorrow's recipe will be Rocha Toffee!
