How I Celebrated

I made a "simple" fudge that did not require sweetened condensed milk. It did however call for a candy thermometer which I do not have. So I kind of winged it and hoped for the best. It is a bit melty, but straight out of the fridge, it is everything you expect of fudge.

History

Punchbowl
 Nuts help fudge be more balanced. I still don't think I could consume 9lbs of it each month like the guy in the punchbowl link.

Merchandise

Not a lot here. Any toys are probably labeled more commonly under brownies.
