Creamy Fudge



I made some fudge this morning for the "man of the place". I have spoiled him with desserts but what he doesn't know is that I usually redo the recipe to be healthier or its one of my W.W. recipes. That is what this one is. I use to make the fudge my Mom made and it is higher in fats and calories, so when I found this one and tried it, it won out over my Moms. Plus it is a lot easier to make.
What you need is;
 10 oz. bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips, finely chopped
 1 (14oz) can sweetened fat-free condensed milk
 1/2 tsp. vanilla
 a pinch of course salt

You need to line a 8 x 8 pan with plastic wrap making sure at less 2 inches hang over the sides


Combined the ingredients in a large heavy saucepan

Heat mixture over a med-low heat. Stir until mixture is completely melted and smooth, approx. 5 min.

Transfer fudge to prepared pan, spread evenly with rubber spatula.
I sprinkle a little salt on top before I cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.

Uncover fudge, remove from pan by lifting overhanging plastic wrap. Invert on cutting board, remove wrap. Cut fudge into 8 strips, then cut each strips crosswise into 8 pieces. Can refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Serve at room temp, but I do like it cold also. 2 pieces is 2 pts.

  1. Oooh yum, thanks for this! I especially like the salt idea - I want to try sea salt! I did a gourmet food tour in NYC, and salted chocolates and caramels were some of the things we sampled. The salt made the flavor absolutely outrageous!

  2. Thanks for posting this, I may be able to get this one to turn out. I have a terrible time trying to make fudge. I'm going to live life on the edge and try the salt too. LOL

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...

Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.
