I participate in a cookie exchange every December and it is one of my favorite holiday gatherings. I love getting lots of goodies and hanging out with the girls for an evening. To keep the baking to a reasonable amount we exchange half-dozens rather than dozens. This year, for instance, we had 10 women so we made 5 dozen cookies and each lady got 6 cookies.
This year one lady brought the cutest idea ever for a cookie exchange:
Individual sized tins with FUDGE! I am so stealing her idea! I'm going to stock up on those tins after Christmas this year and give them away as gifts next year. This weekend I made this Butter Pecan Fudge recipe a high school friend posted on her Facebook page. IT IS FABULOUS (but holy sugar, Bat Man)! And super easy! I dumped the ingredients in the pan and Ella did all the mixing for me even if she did refuse to look at the camera. The apron she's wearing is a hot pad on top and a matching kitchen towel on the bottom -- so cute! (Ignore the bacon grease... I used it later to make soup.)
I made a double batch of the fudge thinking I'd give some away to our newspaper delivery lady, the water guy, and a few secretaries at my husband's work, but I think I'm going to have to make some more. But it will be so good and so cute next year in those little tins!
