Fudge
Here it is, the fudge recipe I could not find last year. If you're trying to lose weight, don't bother. This stuff is too good to leave alone.
Triple Chocolate Fudge
6 cups sugar
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 cup stick butter
1 t up (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 jar (13 oz) marshmallow crème or 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 package vanilla chips (11 ounces)
1/2 package (half of 11 oz bag) milk chocolate chips
2 packages (6 ounces each) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, or chopped bittwersweet chocolate
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1. Grease bottom and sides of rectangular pan 13x9x2 with butter, or line with aluminum foil.
2. Heat sugar, milk, butter and cheese to boiling in 6-quard Dutch oven over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to 225 degrees on candy thermometer; remove from heat.
4. QUICKLY stir in marshmallow crème and vanilla. Pour 4 cups hot marshmallow mixture over vanilla chips in large bowl; stir to mix. Stir chocolate chips, bittersweet or semisweet chocolate and cocoa into remaining marshmallow mixture.
5. Pour one-third of the white mixture into pan, spreading evenly. QUICKLY pour one-third of the chocolate mixture over the top, spreading evenly. Repeat twice. Pull and swirl knife greased with butter through mixtures for marbled design. Cool until set. Refrigerate uncovered about 3 hours or until set. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares with knife greased with butter.
Hmmm. I forgot the vanilla tonight. I knew it was not quite right.
Aidan is getting fairly adept at making cookies. He does everything, on his own, except the actual baking. He's still learning about measuring, though. Today he attempted his own creation of chocolate chip snickerdoodles. Great idea ... if only he hadn't confused 1/4 teaspoon with 1/4 cup when he added the salt.
There. I've just ensured that you'll all be nice and nervous when you eat our cookies.

Ha! Tell Aidan I made the exact same mistake with peanut butter cookies once. I already had started the mixer, so there was no way to undo it, so we upped everything else to try to compensate. We were eating salty peanut butter cookies for weeks as a lesson to better measure in the future.
I still don't eat peanut butter cookies much anymore - they just don't taste as good as they used to.

You poor kid.
I, on the other hand, thought about upping the other ingredients, realized what a difference there is between a cup and a teaspoon, and suggested we chuck the cookie batter in the trash and make fudge :)
