Fun!

The extent of my baking today is to make a new batch of 'birdie bread' for Tarzan. It's a recipe (I got it online years ago, but tweaked it to make it better) with a lot of wholesome stuff for him. Lot of work now that I have so many additional pain issues but glad to say it's in the oven, so most of the hard part is over.

It's a 15x10" pan so after baking, cooling, and refrigerating to set up, I cut it into squares and vac-seal them in small-ish packages, and then freeze. Lasts a long time, fortunately.

"birdie bread" LOL never heard of that one. Mine is gonna tackle the fudge not much for cake. I just wanted to make it and then see if it would be good enough for a pot-luck at the church when they have one.

Kids will like it . Its got sprinkles in it and in the icing . The original recipe the icing was more pink. I need to amp it up a little. That fool coloring is tricky

too much and it's gaudy , not enough and it's too pale. Just need to add 1-2 more drops I figure.

That Mackinac fudge called for 25 marshmallows (big ones) 3 kinds of choc, 2 sticks of butter, cup of milk, 4 cups of sugar, vanilla.

Pretty good. LOL I threw in walnuts.

Back when I was selling my fudge, the one with pecans was one of my most popular varieties. I like both pecans and walnuts, though.

Another popular one was one in which I swirled some peanut butter. That one was a bit more of a pain than the others, but people loved it!

I'm with him! I probably eat some peanut butter almost every day. Love a pb & jam sandwich with Smucker's Simply Fruit Strawberry Jam on a nice whole grain bread with seeds. I also love peanut butter with milk chocolate. I will just eat a couple of spoonfuls of pb every now and then. Apple slices w/pb is another good one. Always Jif Creamy.

My husband, OTOH, doesn't seem to be terribly fond of it which surprises me. Something must be wrong with that boy!

You know what's kind of funny? Or, maybe silly. Of all the recipes I've written and great ones I've found online over the years (don't have any familial hand me downs) one of my favorite treats is this silly No Bake Cookie recipe. It has chocolate, pb, oats, butter & sugar (of course), vanilla, and I add raisins to mine. Super easy and certainly not gourmet, but they are so tasty.

Recipe I've had for yrs calls for coconut instead of raisins.
