Easy Fudge

I know the holidays are over, but here it is anyway!
After all, it doesn't have to be Christmas to enjoy chocolate yumminess!
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and made it easily, only substituting prepared nonfat dry milk for the evaporated milk. Did you know you could do that? ( I took this photo with with my new camera! I know: a sewing machine and a camera all in the same Christmas! I am loved!!!)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 Tbs. vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 bags Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips (They are big chips)
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter and mix in sugars and vanilla. Then add eggs one at a time until creamy and almost fluffy. Mix in flour, baking soda and salt all at once until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop tablespoon size dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 -12 minutes. Take out of oven just before you think they look done and you will have a softer cookie. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

Who loves Brownies?!

OK, This one is sooooo easy!
The other night, John and I were watching a movie (BabyMama if you must know! pretty hillarious!) and we decided to make these for a movie treat! They were so good right out of the oven all gooey and chewy! And they were also really good the next day for a treat in the lunches!

All you need is:
1. a box of Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Family-Style Brownies
2. a half bag of Guittard real semi-sweet chocolate chips
3. about a cup of chopped walnuts

I love the Duncan Hines Family-Style Brownies Chewy Fudge Box (cost about $1) Every time I make it and take it to events, people ask me for my secret recipe!

These chocolate chips are just so extra gooey and chocolaty and the walnuts on top are always so good!
