Verlee, What Christmas baking and candy making do you do? I know that my
Mom would make fantasty fudge before Thanksgiving and tell us that it gets
better with age and will be perfect at Christmas! We never did see that fudge
again and she would always make more for Christmas! lol lol She did love her
choc. I know that with divinity, I have kept it about 6 weeks and it still was
good. It was covered really good and kept in a cool room. I think I have a
choc. covered cherry and roches(spelling) recipes from you. i would love to
make the choc. covered cherry one maybe a week before Christmas.

I usually don't make my candies, etc. this early, but I wanted to get them shipped off to my son so he'd have some before Christmas. Thus my family will be receiving their treats early, as well! They get: chocolate covered cherries (of course!), almond roca, fudge w/nuts, fudge w/o nuts, almond bark, pralines, peanut clusters, lemon bars, date bars, 7-layer bars, chocolate peanut butter krispies, German chocolate caramel bars, chocolate peanut butter cookies, pumpkin bread and zucchini bread...and next week I'll try my hand at Nancy's divinity recipe. In the past I have found that everything survives quite well for at least 4 weeks. As Carol does, I keep everything in air tight containers in a cold spare bedroom (since I don't have an extra refrigerator any longer - lol). And I agree that some of these seem to taste better as they sit, like the fudge, roca, lemon bars, and 7-layer bars. The chocolate cherries must stay in the refrigerator, however, as the chocolate will start to separate otherwise.

I love fudge!!!!! And, I make it as often as I can and usually give it away. I give some to my husband to take to his weekly "retiree" breakfast. The guys like to finish off their breakfast with something sweet (and chocolate)!! Sometimes, I send cookies; but then my husband gets requests for the fudge. Go figure!!

Posted by Nancy G

My favorite fudge is the dense chocolate one made with: 3 cups Nestles Semi sweet morsels, 1 can Condensed milk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla, and 1 cup chopped pecans. -optional.
Melt choc chips with condensed milk ( I use the microwave) watch closely, do not over do this step - it gets funny. Stir like crazy when the chips are almost melted but still show a bit of shape. Stir in vanilla and nuts.
Pour into 8 inch pan which has been lined with waxed paper or foil. Chill intil firm. Cut into squares. Best stored in refrigerator (put it in the back so you don't nibble every time you open th frige for something)
Enjoy!

Wow, Verlee, you have been busy! I haven't started anything yet, and with my oral surgery scheduled for next week, it may be a while before I get going. It may be a last minute rush lol.

Sorry to hear about your elbow Mary. Hope you're feeling ok now.

Carol, here's the recipe.

German Chocolate Caramel Layer Squares

1 14 oz. bag caramels; unwrapped

1/3 c. evaporated milk

1 box Pillsbury German Chocolate cake mix

3/4 c. butter; softened

1/3 c. evaporated milk

1 c. walnuts; chopped

1 6 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips

In heavy pan or double boiler, combine caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until caramels are melted. Set aside.

Grease and flour 13 x 9 pan. Preheat oven at 350ºF.

In large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, butter, 1/3 cup evaporated milk and nuts. By hand stir until dough holds together.

Press half of dough into pan; reserve remaining dough for topping.

Bake at 350°F for 6 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate pieces over baked crust. Spread caramel mixture over chocolate pieces. Crumble reserved dough over caramels. Return to oven for 15 to 18 minutes.

Cool and cut.
