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!

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...

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...
