2 ingredient fudge

Oh my gosh.. Who doesn't love easy 2 ingredient recipes? I know I do, but they have to taste good .. This one meets that.. Fudge ... Mmmmm creamy, dreamy fudge.  I got this recipe from my co-worker Rob..  So thankful he shared it. You can use whatever flavor icing you want.. I usually use vanilla frosting & put whatever chocolate chips I have on top (vanilla chips are good & mini chocolate chips are good too.  I like using crunchy peanut butter but creamy will work too. My next time I am going to add some mini marshmallows and make rocky road fudge using chocolate icing...  The possibilities are endless. Whatever way you make it, make it soon.  Enjoy 💚

In microwave remove the lid and top from the frosting and microwave on high for 1 minute.
Remove from microwave and set aside. Remove the lid & top from the peanut butter and microwave for 1 minute.  Pour the icing and the peanut butter in a bowl and stir well to combine. Pour into dish and let set until firm. Remove using sides that hang over the sides and lift out pan. Cut into small cubes and serve.  Put any remaining in a covered dish. Enjoy.....

Baked apples

Baked Apples who doesn't love them.. especially ones with strusel topping all yummy & delicious.  I do that's for sure.  Then when they are hot out of the oven I serve them with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, totally optional but makes it extra good.. Whipped cream would be good too..  However you serve them make them soon.. I love making these in the fall when apples are extra yummy & crisp.  I use Gala apples but use your favorite.  Enjoy 🍎

Baked apples with strusel topping

3 large apples washed & cut in half from the stem side down & using a Melon baller cut core out of the Apple
1/3 cup water
Vanilla ice cream for serving

Strusel topping
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 stick softened butter + additional pat for top of each Apple.
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2  tsp pumpkin pie filling (or cinnamon use what you have)

In oven safe baking dish place apples it side up.  In bowl add the strusel topping ingredients & using a fork or your hands mix the topping till it resembles chunky crumbs.  Spoon the topping evenly over the apples and pack so each Apple has lots of filling.  Place a pat of butter over each Apple.   Pour water in baking dish and carefully place in
350 degree oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until life inserted in Apple is easily pierced. Remove from oven and serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream over the top. Enjoy
