Easy Peasy Fudge

Today I wanted to make something after forever of being in the woods with small children as a camp counselor so I planned on making no bake cookies, my favorite. My mom asked me instead to make fudge. I was hesitant but soon found out that nothing could be easier. I used the recipe on the back of the sweetened condensed milk can.
Easy Fudge
-18oz semi sweet chocolate chips (about 3 cups)
-1 can sweetened condensed milk
-dash of salt
Add to sauce pan, melt, and pour into serving dish and cool for 2hrs.
Seriously what could be easier. It even tastes good and as you know sometimes the simple recipes taste awful. So if you ever want fudge and want an easy recipe try this one. :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies: Yum!

I've become quite the recipe website and foodblog junkie. Being a member of Tasty Kitchen does not help matters as it just manages to expose me to more cooking blogs. Recently the writer of the blog LaFuji Mama friended me on Tasty Kitchen and I have come to really enjoy her blog.

LaFuji Mama posted a chocolate chip cookie recipe that was supposed to be better than the recipe on the Toll House food bag. The trick to this new recipe was to essentially follow the same recipe on the bag but half the butter and don't add nuts. LaFuji Mama baked both recipes and said that yes this cookie was better than the original.

At my house we love cookies. If I could I would eat cookies all day. My mother and sister's favorite cookie just happens to be chocolate chip so I decided that I would try this recipe when I made these cookies the other day. However instead of ommiting the nuts I only halved the butter. I made a double batch but only added one bag of chocolate chips and some nuts.

The Verdict:
These cookies were delicious. I have to agree with LaFuji Mama and the original poster of this trick to the Toll House recipe Chris Garboski. These cookies were not oily and were chewier than the original. They were a hit in my family. :)
