Grandma’s 5 Minute Fudge Recipe

My Grandma made the easiest fudge recipe at Christmas.  It’s decadent and satisfies a chocolate craving right away.  It’s Grandma’s Five Minute Fudge recipe.  Really, it only takes about 5 minutes.  The fudge is so simple that my little brother could make it while he was a college student–now that’s amazing!

For 5 Minute Fudge all you need is:  

1.5 bags of chocolate chips
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
2-3 handfuls of marshmallows  
Nuts or peppermint pieces are optional

 1. In a medium bowl combine the milk and the chocolate chips. Try to coat all the chips.

 2. Melt for 2 minutes in the microwave.  Stir it well and heat a few seconds more as needed to melt all the chips.

 3.  Stir in marshmallows–as many as desired as long as they melt (about 2-3 handfuls).  The marshmallows must melt so you can put it in the microwave for a few seconds if needed.
4. Add in nuts too, if desired.  It should look all melted like this picture.
5. Pour into a buttered pan or dish. And you’re done!!!!  Let it cool and then cut.
If you want you can add some crushed candy canes on top before it cools.  I love to add a little peppermint.  Keep in mind, this step may add a minute or two . . . .heehee.
This is great when you need a last minute holiday dessert!  It  also freezes well.  So you can make some ahead of time and save it for your Christmas party!
I hope you love it!

Enjoy a themed dinner while you watch a fun movie. The menu goes a long with the movie and is served to you while you are watching the scene it relates to. We saw Holes (which we love!) but there are many others to choose from. Our menu had a fun drinks, appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert. I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thes Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thesheepdetectives … Fun, quirky movie, (kinda like Babe but really like no other movie I’ve seen before). Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips
DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecen DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecentretheatre I laughed until I cried! 
We loved this one!!

Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
