Can’t Fail 5-Minute Fudge – Dec 1961

I have been making this recipe since the 70’s. It’s one of those retro recipes that doesn’t contain any weird ingredients and if you look back at vintage ads, many of them contain ingredients involving jello and/or meat. Yuck!

COOKIES & CREAM FROSTING

 

I have been waiting all year to make these cupcakes! I saved a photo of a cupcake with sugared cranberries earlier in this year and thought it would be perfect for Christmas.

Well, it’s December so it’s time to start baking. I cheated and purchased a red velvet cake mix. It uses so much red dye when making it from scratch so I just added 1/4 cup of sour cream (like I do to most cake mixes) and it tasted great.

SUGAR COOKIE FUDGE

 

SUGAR COOKIE FUDGE

Sugar cookie fudge is a delightful treat that combines the creamy, rich texture of fudge with the classic flavors of sugar cookies. The fudge is enhanced with sprinkles and crushed sugar cookies, adding a fun, festive touch.

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES W/ STRAWBERRY FROSTING

 I love chocolate covered strawberries and eat them more often than I should.

Sometimes I am so impatient that I just melt me a big old bowl of chocolate and grab a handful of juicy red strawberries and start dipping.  This girl is not waiting for some chocolate to harden on a strawberry.

My love for this wonderful flavor combination is the reason for these chocolate cupcakes & starwberry cupcakes.

HOT SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP

Who doesn’t love spinach and artichoke dip? Well, I know a few people who don’t, but honestly, I think something’s off with them.

I order this dip almost every time I dine out and have been making it for years. Over time, I’ve experimented with different recipes—some simple, some more elaborate—and have tweaked ingredients until I found the perfect balance of easy and delicious. If you’re up for trying it, here’s the recipe:
