Raspberry Lemonade Fudge

Nothing says summer like fruity, flavored lemonade. So let's take that cool, refreshing taste and put it where it belongs. In fudge.

Stay with me here. It sounds like a strange combination, but this light, fruity fudge is perfect for a hot day. And it won't melt in the sun because you're going to eat it way too quickly for that to happen. Trust me.

This fudge recipe is a bit more complicated than the ones I normally use, but the extra steps and ingredients are totally worth it. And using the little packets of lemonade mix that you put in a water bottle as a flavoring and mixing it all with a hand mixer made it super simple. I put it together in less than half an hour, including clean-up time, and had it in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Then it was ready to drizzle and enjoy. And we did.

Ingredients: 
1 7oz jar marshmallow fluff
1 12oz bag white chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
5 .08oz packets raspberry lemonade drink mix
1 8oz bag white chocolate melting wafers
pink sparkling sugar

1. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine the fluff and white chocolate chips.

3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter, sugar and heavy whipping cream together. Stir constantly until it's soft and creamy, boiling for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the pink lemonade packets.

4. Pour the hot liquid into the mixing bowl over the fluff and white chips. Use a hand mixer to cream it all together. Let it set in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

5. Remove the fudge from the baking dish and cut into pieces. 

6. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. Drizzle over the fudge and immediately sprinkle with pink sparkling sugar.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
