Saturday Sweetly: Junk Fudge

More fudge! I told you last week I would share another fudge recipe, and here it is. This is the family favorite here, everyone loves this recipe even more than last week's fudge recipe.

Despite it's name, this recipe is not junk. It is actually very similar to
a rocky road fudge, with some differences. Here are the ingredients you will need:

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • 11 ounces butterscotch morsels
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
  • 10 ounces miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup peanuts
Keep in mind, my instructions are for heating the chocolate in the microwave, not on the stove top. Now, the first step is to line a 9x13 pan with wax paper. This has the same purpose as last week, to keep the fudge from sticking and for pulling out the fudge. Next, you will need to:

If the chocolate is not smooth after the above step, microwave it for 10 to 15 more seconds at a time, stirring in between. If you use chunky peanut butter, it will look like this.

Once the chocolate is completely done being heated, let it sit for 1 minute to cool slightly. Afterwards:

Now, the only step left is to let the fudge refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until it hardens. Delicious! Any Christmas treats you feel like sharing before the season ends? Comment on Facebook or on my blog.

    If you've never tried this before, you need to. It's absolutely delicious. The only problem I've ever found with this recipe is that my family expects me to share it with them!

The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this: Click to enlarge. I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this: Click to enlarge. I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next: Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. F...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...

CBP Prohibited and Restricted Items

Recently we went to a Back to School festival near to us. At the event, they had a car show, snacks, booths for school children to get supplies , and also booths from the local police and border protection agencies. One of the booths, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, had a variety of unique items on display, including gem-covered beetles, vials of weevils in food products, leather from a sea turtle and elephant, and a bird claw. The officer on the right talked about all the items on display. Click to enlarge. What do all these items have in common? Well, we learned from one of the officers at the booth that these were all illegal items to try to bring over the border. Lets start with the gem-covered beetle. This is not the beetle the officer had on display, but simply an example. While this may look like a harmless product, it is actually quite cruel. That is because the beetle is captured while still alive and has the jewels pasted to its back before being put on sa...
