MY DAD'S FUDGE



My Dad's Fudge image

My dad was not a cook but he did have a sweet tooth and loved chocolate! This was his recipe and when we were teens we learned to make it. If you only boil it, (oh, no- I don't remember how long), 3 - 5 minutes?, you can use it as a quick and simple hot fudge sauce over ice cream. Yum.

GREAT-GRANDMA CATHY'S DATE LOAF CANDY



Great-Grandma Cathy's Date Loaf Candy image

Handed down from my great-grandmother, and one of my father's all-time favorite holiday treats. Store in the refrigerator (rolled in the cloth), and it will keep for weeks. Otherwise, it becomes hard and sugary.

Time 8h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups white sugar
1 cup milk
¼ cup butter
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
