"Unfortunately DD is showing signs of gallbladder problems (sees GI tom.) so now I have a dilemma about whether to send out the cookies, candy 'fried oysters', caramels and fudge. DSIL would certainly appreciate them...what to do, what to do... ""
Being the kind and caring person that I am, I am sending you my mailing address in PM so that you will be able to send out the goodies guilt-free. My gallbladder was removed years ago so no problems here.
And it really would be cruel to let DSIL eat in front of poor suffering DD. Hugs and smilesssss........

Okay. By popular demand, here is my fudge recipe :) I like it because I only have to make one batch, and it always turns out!
"LAURIE'S FAMOUS FUDGE"
3 6oz pkg semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 pound butter (no subs)
10oz pkg of miniature marshmellows
5 cups sugar
1 12oz can evaporated milk
1 Tblsp vanilla
2 cups chopped nuts, if desired
Line a large jelly roll baking sheet- 12" x 15"- with foil, parchment paper or waxed paper. Butter well.
Place the chocolate chips, marshmellows and nuts in a large bowl.
Heat butter, sugar and milk over medium heat until it comes to a roiling boil. Boil exactly for 6 minutes. Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate/marshmellow mix in bowl, and stir vigorously until well blended. Stir in vanilla.
Pour into prepared pan and allow to cool/set. Remove from pan and slice into PERFECT 1" SQUARES, using a pizza wheel and ruler!
Makes 5 pounds

Never thought of that! That would work!

Send them and advise her to freeze a portion for her to have when she's all better.
