Do you have a favorite recipe?

“Good food, good company, great memories.” – Unknown

The holidays are here again. We all have that one special recipe we love to make or share, or both!

I usually make a big batch of fudge for my husband this time of year. It requires a microwave. We no longer own one. We took it out of the Cougar because really we never use it and needed the space for pans and other cookware.

Since I won’t be making it this year the next best thing is sharing the recipe with ya’ll.

When we bought our first maybe 3rd Microwave, we bought a cookbook for Microwave cooking. This was one of the favorite recipes in it. The page was well worn and had many chocolate stains on it.

I have tried making this in “tupperware bowls” and glass bowls. The best I have found to not make “chocolate syrup” is use an old corning ware 3-4 qt dish. Believe me I have made lots of “syrup” not using the right cookware for this. Also it don’t cook well in high humidity days. Just something I have taken note of.
