We got our Christmas goodies out early this year to neighbors and friends. I'm not quite sure how that happened seeming that I'm still packaging up jewelry orders, still need to Christmas shop and barely mailed out our Christmas card that probably won't arrive until next year.
We made our traditional sugar cookies and decorated and decorated until the counter was covered with frosting and the floor was covered with sprinkles. Lots of fun until I had to clean it all up. Then I boxed up peanut butter fudge with pretty ribbon, which is a recipe that my mama would make every year during the holidays. Lots and lots of childhood memories are around the taste and smell of this fudge. Here's the recipe. It's a keeper.
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/2 pint marshmellow creme
1 cup peanut butter
1 (6 oz) package (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla
1.Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan.
2. Combine sugar and milk. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissovles and mixture boils. Cook to soft ball stage (234-250 degrees).
3. Remove from heat; quickly add creme, peanut butter, chocolate and vanilla; blend quickly. Pour into buttered 9x9 inch pan. Score; cut when firm.

Super cute packaging! Where did you get the flowers? Your brother kept asking me to make p.b. fudge. I never did, so finally he made it himself. Now I understand why he HAD to have it! Tradition!!!
