The Everything Kids’ Cookbook

This recipe comes from The Everything Kids Cookbook by Sandra Nissenberg. I love having kid cookbooks on my shelves. When I have relatives visiting, I bring the kids into the kitchen and we browse these books for something easy to make! I’m a firm believer in teaching kids to cook from an early age (my son Brooks started the RecipeBoy blog when he was just 10 years old!) Teaching kids some basic skills for cooking will be a great tool they can keep with them as they get older.

Here are a few recipes in the book that I think kids will love to make: Avocado Toast, Cinnamon-Sugar Doughnut Balls, Hard-Boiled Eggs, Tasty Tomato Soup, Peanut Butter Energy Snack Balls, Yogurt Bark, Lazy Ravioli Lasagna, Tasty Tacos, Broccoli-Stuffed Baked Potato, Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, World’s Best Brownies, Fruit and Cookie Pizza, Purple Cow Milkshake and White Hot Chocolate. 

How to make the Best Fudge Recipe:

Sugar, butter and evaporated milk are combined in a pan and brought to a boil. Then the pan is removed from heat, and chocolate chips are added to the hot mixture. They’ll melt right away as you stir them in.

Marshmallow creme and vanilla extract are then stirred in to the chocolate mixture. You can see how creamy the fudge will become at this point!

Next, the fudge is poured into a pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. This can be any pan that is 13×9-inches in size.  At this point, you can set the fudge aside (or refrigerate) until it becomes firm.

Once the Best Fudge Recipe has firmed up, it’s time to cut it into pieces. I’ve found that cutting it into 50 pieces works great. The pieces are a good size- not too big and not too small.

It’s ready for munching, so you can pile it onto a platter to serve. 

How to store fudge:

Fudge can be stored at room temperature. Just keep it in a sealed container. If you prefer to eat cold fudge, it’s okay to store it in the refrigerator too. The most important thing is to keep it in a well-sealed container as air will dry out your fudge. Either of those options will keep your fudge fresh for a week or two. Store fudge in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.

See how perfect and creamy it turns out?  It’s the best fudge recipe!

I think everyone in your friend circle this holiday season would like to try your homemade fudge. Consider making some to gift to friends and neighbors and you will make someone’s day. Enjoy!
