Fudge + animal crackers + booze =

Sorry I missed a post on Wednesday. Things have been crazzzzy busy YIKES! Can't wait to take a breather this weekend and just enjoy relaxing!! Speaking of which...

Fudge + animal crackers + booze = amazing delicious nostalgic adult fudge!!

Boozy fudge has turned into a christmas gift tradition for me. Exhibit A: Captain Morgans SMORE fudge. Exhibit B. Coconut Malibu fudge

And now to add to the list. Amaretto Animal Cracker Fudge. Over the top easy to make... over the top decadent and delicious. Don't fool yourself, there is nothing healthy about this... unless you are my cousin Ann who would say... well it's got chocolate, which comes from beans, and beans are vegetables... therefore it's a vegetable!

OK who else loves my cousin's logic? Pretty fun right? :)

Amaretto Animal Cracker Fudge
by steph chows

1 14 oz can fat free sweetened condensed milk
about 2 cups (12 onces) semi sweet chocolate chips
1 oz amaretto
1 cup animal crackers (plus some to stick in the top)

Pour condensed milk into a medium sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering add in the chocolate chips. Stir occasionally until chocolate is melted and creamy. Pour in booze and stir until incorporated. Remove from heat and stir in animal crackers. Pour into a wax paper lined 8x8 baking square and refrigerate until set (I normally leave it overnight). Once set remove from pan and cut into 1 inch squares.

Happy Holidays everyone!!! What are you all doing? Going anywhere fun? Any fun and exciting traditions?

Oh, I love the idea of adding booze to fudge. Have you tried Grand Marnier? Chocolate and orange is divine. And that way, your fudge will count as a fruit AND a vegetable. :)

Lol! That is pure genius, fruits and veggies! I'm going to have to give it a try for sure :)
