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

Cleaning and Repairing Eyeglasses - Easy Household Tips and Hints
I wear glasses, and like so many of us - I find that my glasses are always dirty! Here are a few tips that will help all of us to keep our glasses clean and scratch-free:
- Here's my favorite homemade eyeglass cleaning formula, sent in to my KCnM Newsletter years ago.
- Apparently, cigarette ashes helps to remove scratches from eyeglass lenses! just make a paste of old cigarette ashes (I know, sort of icky...but if it works, it works!) and apply to the scratches on the lens. Repeat a few times, and then wash away with water and buff gently with a lint-free cleaning cloth.
- Since smooth peanut butter helps to remove scratches from CD's, it might also work on eyeglasses. Gently apply a bit to the scratched surface of the glasses, and then buff clean. Please let me know how this tip works for you!
- Baby oil might also work when used to buff out scratches in eye glasses.
- Another great way to clean glasses is VERY simple - just use a drop of regular dishwashing liquid (the smallest drop possible) and use cool water to wash with a lint free cloth. Use another lint free cloth - or my favorite microfiber cloths - to wipe the glasses clean, without streaks or any bits of lint left behind.
