Fantasy Fudge! This is super easy to make in the microwave

Fantasy Fudge

3 cups sugar
3/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 12-oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chips 
(or you can use Milk Chocolate Chips...I like the milk chocolate it makes the fudge a slightly lighter chocolate color than the semi sweet chips do but very mild and yummy!)
1 7-oz. jar Kraft Marshmallow creme
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Microwave method:
This is my preferred method & always turns out great!
Microwave margarine in 4-quart microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%)
( I like to use my Tupperware Stack Cooker base or Vent N Serve Large container )
for 1 minute or until melted.

Add sugar and milk & mix well.

Microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or until mixture begins to boil, stirring after 3 minutes. Mix well; scrape bowl. Continue microwaving on HIGH 5-1/2 minutes;
stir after 3 minutes.
Stir in chips until they are melted
then stir in the jar of Marshmallow creme then pour into buttered pan then let cool cut & serve


If you wish to cook on the stove here is the STOVE TOP directions
Traditional method:
Combine sugar, margarine and milk in heavy 2-1/2 quart saucepan; bring to full rolling bail, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring. Remove from heat, stir in chocolate till melted. Add marshmallow creme, nuts & vanilla beat till blended. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Let cool and cut into 1-inch squares.

Add remaining ingredients & mix well.
Pour into a buttered 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Cool at room temperature

Gooey Butter Cake - Paula Deen Recipe

I was able to visit Paula Deen's Restaurant - the Lady & Sons
and taste this scrumptious cake

here is the recipe so quick and easy to make too!
YUM!

Gooey Butter Cake

Cake (bottom Layer)
1 -box Yellow Cake Mix
1 Egg
1 Stick of butter (Melted)

Preheat the Oven the 350 degrees

Combine the Cake Mix, egg and butter until well mixed
pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13x9 inch pan


Filling
1 8oz pack of Cream Cheese (softened)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick butter (melted)
1 16oz box of powdered sugar (or 3 cups)


In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, add the eggs, vanilla and butter and beat together. Next add the powdered sugar and mix well. Spread over the cake batter layer and bake for 40 to 50 minutes,(should look golden)
Make sure not to overbake since the center should be a little gooey

I like this best once it has cooled down more like a cookie bar type treat!
It is so delicious!

Upside Down Cobbler, Peach cobbler or other flavors

I love this recipe!!!!!
this is for a peach version, but I have made it with Cherry pie filling and it turns out scrumptious also!!!!
and its SO EASY TO MAKE


Ingredients

1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup milk

1 large can of peaches (29oz)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon


put stick of butter in a 13x9x2 baking dish.
Put in the oven until butter is melted......
In a medium mixing bowl mix 1 cup sugar, flour, baking powder and milk. mix well then pour over the melted butter.
then Pour the peaches and juice on top of the batter,
sprinkle the peaches with the other cup of sugar and the 1tsp cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

let cool and crust will be lightly crispy my kids really love this and so does my husband.....I like baking this while I am preparing dinner and then by time you want a later dessert its cooled off just right (still warm but not all the way cool!! )



If you decide to substitute cherry pie filling for the peaches,
I just leave out the cinnamon and it turns out equally as good as the peach version!!!
