I make a similar fudge 2 ingedients using 1 tub of either white or chocolate frosting and 1 18 oz jar of peanut butter.
White frosting makes plain peanut butter fudge - chocolate makes chocolate peanut butter fudge. So easy just mix together and put onto a plate or 9 x9 " pan. I put into the refigerator to set.

Sounds to me like the containers might be useful to store extra cut binding, or 'basting' safety pins. Don't know if they are big enough to hold all the iron on seam tape I have, but it's worth a try. Also, if you do machine embroidery and buy the little skinny spools you could probably fit several in one container - sorting them by colors. Would be useful to carry thread and bobbins to Sewing Bees keeping them organized, clean and 'not lost!' That is all I can think of right now. Merry Christmas and Happy Sewing Year ahead!

I've never tried that. This is using canned frosting, like Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker, and not a dry mix? My first reaction is it sounds kind of disgusting and too rich - I'd eat one bite and feel sick. (I'm just wondering and NOT trying to be critical.) Is it just frosting mixed with chocolate chips? How does it become fudgy?
Whoops, I guess I'm sort of going off topic, sorry....

Okay, I've accumulated a good supply of these due to the popularity of the 2 Ingredient Fudge Recipe. What can I make with them? I've thought of a container for a travelling sewing kit. Maybe glue a pin cushion in the bottom with the hand sewing suppliess on top? What else?![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)

Could you either have the pin cushion as removable? or fastened to the outside/top? That way it'd be usable, even when the container was closed.
I've always found the containers handy for general storage of any odds and ends!

One useful thing I do with a frosting container is to store my cupcake liner papers in it. They fit perfectly, it will hold a lot, and the papers don't get squished from being in the cabinet or a drawer. I just keep it on the shelf next to my cake decorating supplies. It's easy to write on with a sharpie to label what's inside.
Another use might be to store crayons for your children or grandchildren.

About the frosting containers. I have some very delicate laces that do not need to be folded, so I roll them around a bit of Batting and place them in the containers. I wouldn't do it for long periods for I do not know how the plastic would react on the lace. One is a good place for all my seam rippers that are so small I lose them frequently. Anxious to hear other hints for the use of the cans.
