Hello & welcome to the first ever Ch{all}enge Masters Holiday Blog Hop. Our Jingle Bell HOP!!! The Ch{all}enge Masters Blog was your 1st stop and you are now at the 2nd stop of the hop. I thought about sharing a scrappy project with everyone, but I decided that I was going to share one of my very favorite fudge recipes instead. Years ago we had a progressive dinner each Christmas Day & our house was always the last. The desserts!! I LOVED hosting the desserts because well, they're desserts (LOL) & because, as we were the last stop, everyone could just relax & enjoy themselves & stay as long as they liked. Most Christmas' it was the wee wee hours of the morning before everyone left. I cherish those memories. As with most families, times & traditions change, and we no longer have the progressive dinner. I miss it, but I hold those memories strong in my heart.
Here is my FAVORITE Caramel Fudge Recipe:
3/4 cup margarine
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
Melt the margarine in a heavy 2 quart saucepan. Add the brown sugar. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the milk and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Cool until lukewarm (about 110 degrees). Stir in the vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating vigorously until the mixture is a fudge-like consistency (about 2 minutes). Stir in the walnuts. Spread the mixture into a buttered 8x8x2 inch pan. Chill & cut into squares. Make yourself a hot toddy; put your feet up; grab your favorite scrappy magazine & enjoy your drink & fudge!! ;-)
I have my own little RAK to give away. To be entered in the random draw, all you need to do is tell me what your favorite Christmas dessert is. Leave your comment on this post & I will randomly draw a winner at the conclusion of the hop! If you do happen to make the fudge recipe I would LOVE for you to come back & tell me how you enjoyed it!
After you have visited all the blogs and posted a comment, please be sure to go back to the Challenge Master's blog and post that you are finished. Thanks for hopping with us! Your next stop is our Cards Team Leader, Jamilie.
Thanks so much for joining our Jingle Bell Hop & the Happiest of Holidays to you & yours!!!!
