12 Days of Cookies – Fudge
I know that fudge isn’t a cookie, but, it is a holiday treat, so I’m counting it towards my 12 Days of Cookies (plus I’m starting to panic about getting 12 cookies made by the end of the year).
I’ve never made fudge before and let me tell you, this was literally the easiest recipe ever. A well trained monkey could make this stuff. Heck, even a barely trained monkey could make this. I used the defrost setting on my microwave because I always do when melting chocolate in it. I also stirred it after each minute. I read the reviews on Allrecipes and decided to use some milk and some semi-sweet chips. Use the best chocolate you can find for this. I used Ghirardelli chips. The flavor turned out very good. Hubby doesn’t like nuts in his fudge, so I opted for just plain chocolate fudge.
Fudge – from Allrecipes.com – makes about 36 pieces
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips – I used 2 cups milk chocolate and 1 cup semisweet
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) – I omitted
Place chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter or margarine in large microwaveable bowl. Zap in microwave on medium until chips are melted, about 3-5 minute, stirring once or twice during cooking. Stir in nuts, if desired.
Pour into well-greased 8×8-inch glass baking dish. Refrigerate until set.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Fun fun fun! I am gonna try to participate everyday. My hubs will probably think carrying my camera with me everywhere for the next week is cuckoo though. Then again its me. He’s probably use to it. HAHA

Awesome concept! You know I’ll be post’n.
Awesome challange. It will be interesting how others express other senses through the lens. I hope I can live up to it.
I’m looking forward to what everyone comes up with. It’s going to be fun!
Crap. I knew there was a reason I was going to bring my camera to work.
Nikki – you can participate in any days that you’re able to do it. Not many rules with Photo Week. My post tonight will be coming very late. I’m already behind on my own photo week!!
Well at least I’m not the only slacker. I wanted to play around with some of the equipment from work so I guess I’ll just have to smuggle it home with me 😛
Love this challenge. I posted my sight photos today. 🙂
