This year I want to bring back some of my memories from
Christmas when I was a kid.
I’ve made rice krispy treats, Murray and I made fudge, and I
still plan to bake Boston brown bread, all wonderful things my Mom made when I
was growing up. I hope they’re half as delightful as I remember.
Helpful hint: I found this recently in a crockpot chili recipe.
“Keep hot dishwater in the sink so you can clean up the
kitchen as you go and while the food is baking or cooking.”
MARSHMALLOW CREAM FUDGE, from Kathy’s Mom
Ingredients:
4 cups sugar
1 13-ounce can evaporated milk
¼ cup margarine
1 pint marshmallow cream
12 ounce package chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
Nuts, optional
Directions:
Bring sugar, milk, and butter to a boil. Let boil nine minutes, stirring
frequently. Use heavy pan. Remove from heat; add remaining ingredients;
stir until chocolate chips and marshmallow cream are melted. Pour into buttered 9 by 13 inch pan and cool.
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a baker, but sounds good. I remember helping my mom make cut out cookies as a kid and my grandma sent each of her children's family a tin of homemade candy.
Good memories.
