Tina from Mom’s Crazy Kitchen hosts this challenge every month and the reveal date for the fourth month of the Crazy Cooking Challenge has finally arrived. Now, I have to be honest first – I actually am not a fan of fudge. You should have heard the grumbling and tantrum I threw when I made my first batch and hated it because – I hate fudge…

Vanilla Bean Fudge Hallelujah, it’s fudge season! I sort of turn into the Cookie Monster of fudge whenever it’s around… not such a pretty sight. Imagine a fudge-smeared face, sticky fingers, and a trail of those little candy cup wrappers like breadcrumbs from the box of fudge to me. It’s intense. But totally worth it. And my very favorite…

I don’t think I discussed quite what I did for Father’s Day this year. I didn’t mean to NOT talk about it, I just forgot….which is pretty much the norm these days. So here’s the horror that went down: I got up early Sunday morning to make breakfast for my husband. Brooke picked the menu and made sure I understood that I was to wake her up…

This past weekend was another Chicago Food Swap, and of course I participated. I love coming home with all sorts of goodies, my favorites being the jams and pickles. I’m a pickle fiend, and Mister Man has Greek yogurt with preserves every morning for breakfast, so it’s perfect for us. I wanted to make something more wintery for this swap…

When you hear the word fudge, you probably think of a decadent chocolate confection. But chocolate is not always a vital ingredient. A fantastic (and tasty) example can be found in an Indian specialty called doodh peda –in most English speaking countries, though, it’s referred to as milk fudge. In any language, this dairy rich confection is…

After successfully making 5 minute cookies and cream fudge, I had to of course tackle a Nutella version. This recipe is just as easy. Stick everything in the microwave for about 1 minute, stir, pour into a pan and let it set and it’s ready to go. I couldn’t decide whether to leave the top plain or decorate it with chopped hazelnuts. I ended…

I was told by my somewhat better half that I wasn’t allowed to bring the construction crew – that is, the guys who are working on my apartment – any more treats until they picked up the pace. I don’t think the expression “No more monsieur nice guy” exists in French, but that seemed to be the tone of the sentiment expressed. However being American…

I have confession to make….. Don’t think I’m weird ok? I’ve never made fudge before. Ok, there it is. It’s out there for the world to know. I’m a newbie in the fudge making world. I’ve always just enjoyed the holiday’s when friends and family brought over their delicious fudgy treats and maybe I secretly wished that I too could be as awesome…

One of my favorite desserts to make is this super easy fudge. It seems, like it’s almost impossible to screw up. And there are so many different things that you can do with it. It’s like a blank canvas. I’ve made it so many different ways now (you can check out my fudge recipes here ) that I tend to think that I won’t have another one in me…

My fudge story starts about two summers ago, when my mother took me and my siblings to Hershey Park. At some point, we went into one of the (seemingly millions of) little shops that line the entire park, begging the tourists, or perhaps quietly enticing them to spend more money they have on pretty much every conceivable gimmick with some animated-looking…

She would make so much of it every December that come March, a handful of stale, crusty pieces would still be sitting under a blanket of saran wrap on her ceramic holly berry plate. And come November, she’d remove the aluminum tin from her freezer that housed a few more frozen pieces that she’d kept “just in case.” While chocolate was her…

Indian Sweets have many many options of Burfis. Burfis can be fudge like or candy like bars that can be made from grains, bean flours, coconut, nuts, milk solids and more. Burfis in general depend on dairy for ghee (clarified butter) or milk (milk solids, milk powder, condensed milk etc). There are also options that are by default dairy-free…

These 3 recipes are the very definition of “easy fudge.” They’re all 3 made with sweetened condensed milk, and so even though this isn’t strictly a (you don’t usually buy fudge at the grocery store, do you?), I was actually quite pleased to see that the fudge sets up best … when you use our homemade sweetened condensed milk recipe. And that…
