Crites Family Stuff

Description

Debbie LOVES fudge and her comment that you cannot hide fudge from her is all too true. One Christmas season when she was still living at home, I made a batch (5 lbs) early in the Christmas season and hid it away. You guessed it - Debbie found it and ate the whole thing! I made a 2nd batch and hid it in another place where I thought it certainly couldn't be found! Debbie found it!!! I finally decided to wait until Christmas Eve after everyone (especially Debbie) was in bed to make it the 3rd time that Christmas! Debbie LOVES fudge and this is a good recipe. I first received it from a girl friend (Dorothy Haas) living in Cody, Wyoming when Debbie was just a baby. I have modified her recipe into what I make now. It is a non-fail recipe and so easy to make!
Debbie McFarland: Make sure this recipe gets in the cookbook. You cannot hide fudge from me!!!
