I could probably make 2 Angel Food Cakes a week, and they would be gobbled right up.  When the kids were all home, this Cake would only last five minutes after it was placed on a plate.  In fact, they would get excited when I pulled my large 7-up Bottle from the cupboard. After this Cake […]

    I still LOVE angel food cake. I could just eat the “batter.” So good! I started cooking one in a cake pan, so I get more of that delicious crusty top. It works!ReplyCancel

    I just made your chicken and homemade noodle soup tonight and it was a huge hit with my 3 boys and hubby. They asked if we could have it every week! But the noodles use 3 egg yolks per batch so I was looking for something to do with the whites and now I’ve found it. Angel food cake is my favorite and the boys will love that they get noodles AND cake! Thank you for such great recipes!!ReplyCancel

      Hi Sara,

      That is sooooo great to hear!
      The Angel Food cake is a great way to use egg whites. We also love Divinity.
      You should also try the homemade Marshmallow frosting. It is so good on chocolate or white cake or cupcakes or make homemade Marshmallows!
      Thanks so much,

But now, after using this recipe, I’m throwing my other recipe away! This is by far the easiest, best tasting fudge ever …absolutely without equal! I even varied it by using white and green mint choc. chips to make mint fudge and added mini-marshmallows and nuts for rocky road. It works every single time and this year this fantastic fudge in original and the variations, was my gift to neighbors, friends and family!! Wow Again!ReplyCancel

    I can’t believe I have only found this recipe now! I have been stalking your site for absolute ages and somehow missed it.:D So sad! I have a question:- Would using dark chocolate change the outcome, (Meaning creaminess, smoothness)of the fudge? I do love dark chocolate fudge!
    Regards Susan

    Hi Susan,

    As long as you use a high quality chocolate it will work.
    The symphony results in a very creamy fudge.
    I’ve used Hershey bars, and it’s good but not as creamy smooth.

    Either way…it’s good!

    I betcha that you could just blend it in with your mixer at the same time you pour everything over the chocolate.
    You might have to blend a little longer. I would try 1/3 cup…..let us all know!

  • Nic - 02/22/2014 - 3:54 am

    Hi,

    Please help.

    All seems to go really well with this recipe until I get it in the blender then it seems to go to a texture where it does not stick to my rubber spatula so I put it on a bit longer then it went all lumpy? I have tried the recipe twice now and same thing but with different blenders. I am obviously blending too long to get it to the lumpy stage however should it not be at a stage where I stick my finger in and the mixture sticks to my finger, with mine I stick my finger in and the mix slides off. I am using a proper candy thermometer and taking it to soft ball then removing. Can you make any recommendations as to where I am going wrong?

    ThanksReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 02/22/2014 - 5:45 pm

      Hi Nic,

      If you are sure your syrup mixture is a good firm soft ball stage, then the blender, is simply for creaming that syrup
      into the chocolate & butter. You will blend it only until the “glossy” shine has barely started to leave the fudge. You can
      see it starting to change texture….more creamy, less caramel like. If you wait too long, or blend too long, then it won’t be easily
      spread nicely into your buttered pan or parchment lined pan. Once you have it in your pan, cover it very well and let it set up in the fridge.

      I hope this helps…..cuz it’s delicious!!!!

      • Nic - 02/26/2014 - 7:03 am

        Thank you Jonna. Even though my candy thermometer was brand new and a Kitchen Craft I did a temp test and it seems to be slightly out.

  • Kristin - 12/04/2015 - 12:45 am

    I just made this for Thanksgiving. It is a HUGE batch, which is awesome. It was a hit and loved by everyone, including 4 year olds and 70 something year olds. I also packed a small box for my parents to take home and they were thrilled. I also froze half of it (it makes a lot!) and pulled it out of the freezer 4 days later for a potluck dessert and it was a fast-disappearing dessert, with lots of compliments.

    It was super easy to make. I followed the instructions, no need for tweaking or substitutions. Perfection. E

    It is on the creamier side that I’m not used to…I don’t know if I like this better or the kind that’s made with just Hersheys cocoa and milk, but I will keep making this because everyone liked it so much, and maybe make the other kind if I feel like variety. 🙂 THANK YOU for the great recipe!ReplyCancel

    Both toppings sound equally delicious but I am partial to oatmeal.

    We had this for dessert tonight! It was SO good. We used the crumbly topping and it was perfect. For dinner we had Creamy Cheesy Potatoes. My five year old son said that it was, “the best dinner ever!” Thanks for the recipes for some new family favorites!ReplyCancel

    I know exactly what you mean. I get into a store like Whole Foods and my cart fills slowly up. Hard for us foodies not to be tempted.

Many years ago, a sweet lady by the name of Genola Kandler made these delectable ribs. They often invited us to dinner, when these ribs were on the dinner menu. They are boneless country style, meaty, tender, fall apart Barbecue kinda ribs. One day, she jotted down a sort-of recipe for me, off the top […]

    Ribs turned out fantastic! Monkey bread and cinnamon orange in the oven now. The citrus glaze came out killer as well. Try adding the zest of about 1/2 an orange to the glaze more orange depth without having to add more liquid. Thanks again!ReplyCancel

      Just mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl, then pour it all over the country style ribs.
      Begin cooking. Easy!

I seem to navigate towards anything lime. Lime popsicles, Lime slush, Lime jello. Lime Bars are yummy . . . maybe even better than Lemon Bars. My picture simply doesn’t do these sweet little bars – justice.  I ended up taking pic’s after dark, when after all attempts –  without a flash, simply failed me!  When you […]

    Lime has a very distinct flavor- different from lemon. I love the idea of your bars…not sure I will put the coloring in. I feel the same way about key lime pie. It looks like lemon, but I put a lime slice on top.ReplyCancel

    I so wouldnt turn up my nose. The look exactly how i would like my heaven!!!!! When I saw the picture (even if it is a new recipe) I smelled the comforts of home. The looked like the brownies you would make when we were little. The marshmallows and frosting make them perfect! oh, and the nuts in my opinion!ReplyCancel

    No doubt you put the nuts in so you could have these gems all to yourself! 😉 We have to pamper ourselves now and then, right?

    I think I will leave in the espresso (which usually intensifies the chocolate) and try it with 1/4 cup flour (which ought to make these REALLY dense- unless the there was a misprint). Love your marshmallow addition!ReplyCancel

  • Leslie - 05/17/2010 - 8:57 am

    Okay, I tried these and…WOW! I made them for a family dinner yesterday with a little variation, because i didn’t have walnuts or marshmallows. My 2 year old has been carrying around a jar of Peanut butter for 2 days now because he loves the stuff, but my daughter is allergic. He wanted peanut butter brownies and she wanted regular. So, I made two different batches of this fabulous recipe. To one I added 3/4 cup peanut butter to a cup of the batter and swirled it in , plus I made this fluffy PB frosting (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fluffy-Peanut-Butter-Frosting/Detail.aspx) to top it off. To the regular chocolate brownies, I made the fudge glaze and added Heath chips. Both we huge hits at my family dinner! These are my new favorite Brownies! Thanks!ReplyCancel

    That’s too funny…. I can just see my mom doing that 🙂 You tell that hubby of yours that my momma eats nothing but peanuts and ice cream, and dinner if someone else is cooking. I’m dead serious. If there are leftovers, she’ll throw those in to the mix, as long as she’s not dieting that day. (She weighs 127, because she’s 5 pounds overweight.) Mom to five, grandma to four.

    You tell him that you eat just FINE 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Brandi - 05/10/2010 - 6:30 pm

    SERIOUSLY…where does he come up with this!!! You tell dad that you have been eating your carrots, but you still have had to have glasses since you were 2 or 3!!! I still laugh when I think of dad saying that if you ate more you wouldn’t need kisses…they are completley in different categories! Love him to death, but might not ever understand him.
    I still love Pete… I have been laughing about him all day.
    I bet that dessert was just delicious. Anything with that cream is simply to die for! Good for you to eat it all.ReplyCancel

    Cream puffs is the one thing that my grandma was so proud of to make. She made them for everybody! For any excuse. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Peace offerings. Move ins. Move outs. LOL!

    I’ve tried making cream puffs twice and have failed both times. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I was very excited with this recipe because everything was coming out like it showed in your pictures, except when I turned off my oven, my cream puffs sank. Any advice?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 10/12/2011 - 8:14 pm

      Hi Brittany,
      Try this trick: Once the cream puffs are done, remove them from the oven and quickly poke the side of the puff with a sharp knife.
      Just enough to let out the steam from the puff. Put it back in the oven (turned Off!) and let them cool down slightly before taking them
      from the oven again. I’ve never had to try this, but I have read this on other blogs. Let us know how they turn out.
