Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

I’m a firm believer in getting treats in the mail. My mom and I made this fudge to send to a 95 year old pillar of our church who lives in another state. I know that when she opens the package and sees this fudge made with love, she will be happy!

This is a homemade fudge recipe that has been passed down from my Grandma. She makes this fudge, and everyone fights over the last piece! Case and point, my whole family was together celebrating Christmas and we hosted a white elephant exchange. Her gift was the fudge, and it was traded back and forth until the lucky recipient finally got to take it home! (Luckily, they shared it with all of us!) I want to share this recipe with you, so you can surprise those you love, or be the hit at your next white elephant exchange!

Here’s the recipe!

3 Cups sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Tablespoon white Karo syrup
1 cup milk

Bring to a soft boil stage. (I HIGHLY recommend getting a candy thermometer. It tells you the correct temp that a soft boil stage is!)

When the fudge is boiling, place it in a sink of cold water and add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon butter and 1/4 cup peanut butter.

When bottom of pan is cold, beat added ingredients. When dull looking, pour into a buttered 9x13 pan. Let stand until hard.

I hope you enjoy this fudge as much as my family and I do! If you make it, PLEASE leave me a comment and let me know how you liked it!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness! In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language.

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
