My Grandma’s Fudge – Christmas Making and Baking 2016

Have you ever done or bought something but did not know why?  A few weeks ago, I bought some marshmallow creme/fluff because I wanted fudge.  Then I kept looking for a recipe that used marshmallow creme.  I didn’t find any recipes that I would want to make.  

The other day I was looking for a Sharpie marker for something.  I sometimes keep a couple in my cookbook cupboard so I looked in there.  I saw a random recipe card.  When I pulled it out, it was a recipe for my grandma’s microwave fudge.  Guess what it called for?

MARSHMALLOW CREME / FLUFF!!!!!!!!:)

Yeah!

Back story of the recipe card – When I was in Walt Disney World on the College Program, my grandma sent me easy recipes so I could have a taste of home while I was away.

She also sent me a recipe for her White Salad.

It was nice to read the recipe card written in her handwriting.  The 8th anniversary of her death is on Christmas Eve so I feel like she is with me while I’m baking and making this Christmas season.

I ended up taking it to a party and then to church.  Everyone who tried it loved it.

Easy and yummy – It’s my kind of recipe.
