  • 1/2 c. shortening
  • 1/2 c. peanut butter
  • 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 3/4 c. flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • extra sugar
  • 1 bag of Hershey's kisses

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar and 1/2 c. sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Mix well.

Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Beat on low speed until stiff dough form. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar and place on cookie sheet

Easy Easy Fudge

I haven't posted anything on this blog for a while, so I decided that I would post all the recipes for the goodies I made and will give out today. I've made quite a few so look for more to come. This is probably the easiest fudge I have ever made. Three ingredients and a microwave. Here's what you need:

3 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c. butter

Put all the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for periods of 2 minutes stirring after each is over and doing this until the mixture is nice and smooth.

Spray an 8x8 baking dish really well and pour the mixture into it. Put into the refrigerator to let it set.

You can also double this recipe and put it in a 9x13 baking pan. I was going to do that when I made these last night but only had enough chips for one batch.
