Ziploc Baggie Fudge Recipe - Great Summertime Fudge (Fun for Kids)
Ziploc Fudge
Thanks go to Jeannie for this fun, heat-free summertime candy project. Wow, does it ever sound good!
1 stick butter or margarine (or 1/2c. peanut butter)
1 tsp vanilla
4 oz. cream cheese
2/3c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1lb. powdered sugar
Cover a paper plate with foil and set aside. (I didn't do this, I just left it in the ziplock.) Place butter (or peanut butter), cream cheese and vanilla in a large Ziplock bag, seal the bag and squish it until the ingredients are combined (about 5 minutes). Add the cocoa and powdered sugar and continue squishing the bag until everything is well mixed (5 - 10 minutes). Empty the bag onto the foil-wrapped plate. ( I left mine in the bag ). Let stand for a few minutes to solidify. Cut into cubes and enjoy!!! Refrigerate leftovers!!Labels: candy recipes, candymaking, cocoa powder, cooking with kids, fudge recipes, kids cooking, kids projects, peanut butter, powdered sugar, summertime cooking, vanilla

Sugar Free Chocolate for Candymaking
Something else that you can do is buy the unsweetened baking squares (a box of eight 1 oz. squares is $2-3), melt it down, sweeten with splenda or stevia, and then add little bits of milk or cream until it reaches the consistency you want. (You'd use more milk for a sauce - like for ice cream topping - and less milk if you want to use it as a chocolate coating.)

Readers Questions - Finding Sugar-Free Chocolate to Make Handmade Chocolates & Candies
Today's Reader Question of the Day is from: Helen F
who asks:
"I am diabetic and would like to make my own sugar free chocolate candy. The purchased candy is so expensive. Can I use the chocolate chips in the bag to cover nuts, pretzels, etc. or is there a special chocolate I should use. If there is such a thing as sugar free chocolate coating, where can it be purchased as I have never seen it. I have tried asking this question to several sources and no one seems to be able to give me an answer so I am going to the "experts".
Have an answer for Helen? Then email it to me at christina@happyslob.com and thanks for helping out!
