Christmas is such a special time of year! All the good food and wonderful Holiday treats make December a treasure to remember. Growing up we had an uncle who loved sharing a big box of Russell Stover chocolates with our family each Christmas. I'd never seen so many different chocolate delights to choose from!
I've never quite mastered the fine art of making candy with chocolate as well as the fine folks in Abilene Kansas where Russell Stovers has made their chocolates for decades! They have a real talent. And we mustn't forget the good folks in Hershey, PA who have been making chocolate since - probably shortly after the pilgrims enjoyed their first Thanksgiving!
People all over this wonderful world love chocolate! And health pundits seem to think a little chocolate is really good for you! So have some of your favorite Holiday treats this Christmas and enjoy the sweet and rich taste of chocolate that people everywhere have enjoyed for centuries!
If you want to impress your family, friends, or coworkers this week try your hand at making some of this delicious - Double Fudge:
2 cups of granulated sugar,
2 squares of Baker's Chocolate,
1/2 a cup of cream,
1 tablespoonful of butter.
Boil seven minutes; then beat and spread in buttered tin to cool.
2 cups of brown sugar,
1/2 a cup of cream,
1 teaspoonful of vanilla extract,
1 cup of chopped walnuts, chopped fine,
1/3 of a stick of butter.
Boil ten minutes; then beat and pour on top of fudge already in pan.
