If you’re anything like me, you LOVE fudge. :) I never imagined making my own would be so easy. This delicious chocolate fudge came together in less than 5 minutes. Can’t beat that. And the mix of semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate a more distinct flavor. Less overwhelmingly sweet and more cultured. :) Peppermint Bittersweet Chocolate […]
Chocolate Covered Butter Toffee
If it weren’t for Sara’s request to purchase my peanut brittle and to see if I could make chocolate covered toffee, I never would have tried this recipe from Pioneer Woman. I am SO glad I did. Besides having my candy thermometer break part way through cooking (thus having to hold the thermometer into the mixture […]
Homemade Peanut Brittle
I was really intimidated by peanut brittle. Mostly because the first time I tried to make it, I failed miserably. The candy didn’t reach the right temperature because I didn’t have a candy thermometer, and I didn’t know what the mixture was supposed to look like either. It was basically peanuts covered in syrup.

Simple Fantasy Fudge
This recipe is adapted from a Better Homes and Gardens posting given to me by Mrs. Shaner, a fellow church member.
