Tonight’s guest blogger may not know she is the guest blogger.  I have a recipe from a friend and coworker from back in my LexisNexis days in Manhattan, circa 1992.  Never being a great baker myself, Allison wrote down her ‘Famous Fudge’ recipe which I have used and shared so many times over the past 20+ years.  Here it is, and thank you Allison!

What you need:

• 3 cups of chips. you can mix chocolate, peanut butter or any combination thereof
• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup of butter, no margarine

Fun add-in’s: nuts, Heath Bar pieces, peanuts/raisins. Be creative.

What to do:

Mix them all in a glass bowl.

Nuke on medium heat for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring as needed.

Stir and nuke again for 1 – 1 1/2 minutes more.

Spread into greased tin and put in the fridge.  Cut into squares the next day.

Author’s note:  I line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment. makes it easy to get out and cut. This makes for a simple and easy hostess gift as well.
