Baking, Baking & More Baking

After it dawned on me that it was less than a week till christmas, I spent the better part of 6 hours baking up holiday goodies on sunday. I made homemade old fashioned chocolate fudge, snickers cookies with homemade chocolate glaze, and chocolate chip cookies. The fudge was ridiculously easy, no double boiler needed. I found it on line, apparently the recipe that use to be on the back of the fluff jar before they replaced it with it's mediocre predocessor. The snickers cookies were not difficult, just a tad mroe time consuming. It's pretty much like making peanut butter cookies, then you flatten out the dough and stick a mini snickers bar in the center. Then you roll the dough around the snickers bars, but its so greasy that it tends to slip off the bar, but I figured it out. Once you bake the cookies, you let them cool and drizzle (or smother) the cookies in the home made chocolate glaze, which basically consisted of unsweetened chocolate powder, confectioners sugar and milk. So I'll be back to baking this evening for the family get together on christmas eve.
