This Milk Chocolate Peppermint Fudge is made with classic holiday flavors found in this marshmallow based fudge.
Our Thanksgiving didn’t exactly go as planned.
We went to the gym like planned.
But once at the gym my husband got an alert that someone was using his credit card and was it him?
It was not.
While at the gym, our Suburban was broken into.
And a few credit cards were in there.
Ones he pretty much never uses.
They took a locked mailbox we were returning to Lowes.
Two pairs of sunglasses.
Random weird things like our Good Sam membership card.
Took the review camera.
Except that it’s missing the camera part because that is attached to our trailer.
Took the car code reader (that tells you what is wrong with the car if you break down).
My husband’s hat.
And our garage door opener.
They only successfully got $34 spent at a gas station.
Everything else was blocked.
So our Thanksgiving was re-programing garage doors.
Calling those places that were open to tell them things were stolen.
Filing reports with the police.
Joy.
Today will be much of the same.
But this week was not all crappy…if you did not read the newsletter, our dog Daisy’s biopsy came back as just an infection and not cancer.
So even though she is on medication for an infection we will take that any day over cancer.
Now that Thanksgiving is over we are officially in holiday baking mode.
I make fudge pretty much from the day after thanksgiving up until Christmas day.
It’s the main thing I give people.
This Milk Chocolate Peppermint Fudge is pretty classic.
Just milk chocolate and peppermint.
But sometimes the classics are just what you need.
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
