blond fudge

My computer room is very tiny.. but it is all mine. Anything you find in this room belongs to me. Today I packed up everything.. well almost everything in this room.. into boxes because we will be redoing the floors in here this weekend. I cannot believe how much stuff I have. It seems incredible to me that I have amassed so much.

I have so much paper too.. photopaper (matte and glossy), ordinary paper, parchment paper, construction paper, marbled paper, gold and silver paper, vellum paper, linen paper, textured paper, handmade paper, watercolor paper and I could go on and on.

Now, some of you may think I'm crazy, but I do use these papers alot. I do alot of personalized graphic stuff.. and often combine different mediums to give a unique look. I guess I was just surprised how much of it I actually have.

Tonight I went to Claudette's and helped her make cookies for a bake sale she is participating in. We made several shortbread cookies (all cut out in Xmas designs) and we also made some pretty awesome blond fudge. It is so simple to make and so yummy! I'm going to put the recipe here for anyone that has a sweet tooth.

Claudette's Blond Fudge.

3 cups of white sugar
3/4 cup of butter
3 1/2 oz (160ml)Evaporated Milk .. the smallest can is just right.
4 Caramilk chocolate bars (break into squares)
2 cups of mini-marshmallows.

Procedure:
put sugar, butter and evaporated milk in a small pot on the stove
on low heat until melted and it startes to boil
When it starts to boil.. make sure the heat is quite low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn or stick.

Take off the stove

add the caramilk chocolate bars and your mini-marshmallows
stir until everything has melted.. and well-combined..

Pour into a buttered pan. Let set and enjoy

This is so deceptively simple.. I doubt anyone could screw this up and you will be pleasantly surprised at the wonderful texture and flavor of this blond fudge.
