Easy Valentine Fudge

Posted by Tricia Hodges | 0 comments

What is Valentine’s Day without chocolate? In our house we keep things simple and homemade. Here is the easiest recipe for fudge. It’s made in the microwave in five minutes. Not only that, it is every bit as delicious as the homemade, stand-and-stir-it-on-the-stove variety. Plus, for my crowd, it’s allergy-free with the right chocolate chips.

Let’s hear it for three ingredients and five minutes!

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter

(2) twelve oz. packages semi-sweet morsels (we use Hershey)

2. Microwave a total of five minutes

3. Stop and stir every two minutes (and after the last minute)

Tricia Hodges faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children – preschoolers to middle schoolers. Before her real job as a wife and mother, she was an editor. Now she uses her editing marks on schoolwork and proofreads food labels for allergens. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short. Tricia writes about practical homeschooling strategies, mixing up a classical and Charlotte Mason style. From her southern roots, she shares frugal recipes and get-it-on-the-table strategies in hopes of keeping all those tummies full. It’s truly a mixture at her family blog, Hodgepodge. She also contributes a blend of writing at Habits for a Happy Home, Passionate Purposeful Parenting, The Curriculum Choice and $5 Dinners. Tricia is also known as Hodgepodgemom.
