Easy Fudge

My Mom makes the best fudge.  Don’t touch it.  You could gain quick enemies.  Soo good.  She even mailed me some while I served in Taiwan. 

Susan, ‘Bonus Mom extraordinaire’, makes the best main dishes.  So yet another reason why you can never compare two women’s talents.  See why it’s great to have been raised by two great women? 

Now back to the fudge.  This is not a family recipe.  There is no ‘velveta’ in it either.  Just these ingredients.

The coolest part?  Your kids can make it for you.  You can make it while camping even.  You can make it during a Young Women lesson in church.

All you need is the above ingredients and a ziplock bag.

Put about 1/2 cube cream cheese in a bag w/ 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 2 Tbsp butter.  Squish and squeeze until the color is smooth and even.  Kids love doing this.

Cut a corner of the bag, and squeeze out pieces.

I like to put them back into a ziplock, then into the freezer, and eat them one by one.  Yumbo Bob, Allison.

FOR YW LEADERS, read below:

For the YW lesson, the topic was “helping out in the home”.  I had a few of the girls put the ingredients in their church bags before the class started. 

Then I profusely apologized to the class that I wanted to bring a treat, but only remembered to bring the plates.  Then one by one they said “well, I happen to have cream cheese in my bag”, “I have this butter” (basically representing their different contributions) etc. 

The ones without ingredients were totally confused (hilarious!), and then we told them they had to squeeze the ingredients b/c they didn’t otherwise contribute (they ended up squeezing throughout the entire class hour, lol). 

At the end of class, I squeezed the fudge out of the cut corner (okay, now, mind you, we’ve got a great group of gals, and we were crackin’ up at the way the fudge happened to resemble, well, um…).  Then the girls each took a piece home for each of their family members.

Anyway, it was somewhat along the ‘Little Red Hen’ idea of everyone doing their part, in hopes they would think to contribute to the work load in their home. 

And not to worry, I had a ‘real’ lesson going on in the meantime.
