Easy to make dark chocolate fudge recipe

2:23 PM by TheNerdyUnicorn

In the mood for some yummy dark chocolate fudge? Here is the perfect and truly simple recipe for an amazing batch of fudge. I recently made some and took it to the apartment manager of our complex. In her words, “This is better than sex! Melts in your mouth goodness.” Enjoy!



Dark Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients:

2 cups (as-oz. pkg.) Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Chips®

1 can (14oz.) sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

(walnuts or other nuts are optional, I prefer my fudge to be straight up chocolate)


Directions:

Line 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with foil.

Combine morsels and sweetened condensed milk in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Warm over lowest possible heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract (and nuts if you are adding them).

Spread evenly into prepared baking pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Lift from pan; remove foil. Cut into pieces.

This comes out to be very rich, so I cut it into bite sized pieces. Submitted by E.S.V.

Handprint for Father's Day

10:39 PM by Coupons & Freebies in TX

So you just get a piece or 2 because you might make a mistake the 
first time with little squirmy kids. They cost about .60cents a piece at Hobby Lobby.

Then if your kid can write you have them write the top 5 reasons
they love there dad.  Then if they can't yet you can 
write in for them.  

Regardless Dad will love this great idea.

Everyone loves bubbles, but somehow they
all seem to go empty as soon as you buy them at the store.
So I have got you a way to save money and make them at home yourself.

Go to a thrift store get a cheap jar for you can mix it.
 I love the ones with handles the best for kids can hold from the slipping bubbles give you

Then when ready to make you do the following-

First you get 1/2 dish soap (personally perfer Dawn or Joy)
Then you will need 2 cups of water
and lastly you need 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Then mix together and you have homemade bubbles.

For extra fun if you use your bubbles outside add 1-2 drops of food coloring for extra fun.

Then for extra fun go to Dollar General or Dollar Tree and get the fun shapes 
or if you are super frugal and have tons of cookie cutters or even play-doh cutters use them.
