Fudge!! mmmm I wish I had some fixins to make some right now,
:
Chocolate Snowswirl Fudge
Servings: Makes about 2 lbs.

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14-oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
(NOT evaporated milk)
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
dash salt
1 cup chopped nuts
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Melt chips with sweetened condensed molk, 2 Tbsp. butter, vanilla and salt. Remove from heat; stir in nuts. Spread evenly into waxed paper or foil-lined 8- or 9-inch square pan. Melt marshmallows with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter. Spread on top of fudge. With table knife or metal spatula, swirl through top of fudge. Chill at least 2 hours or until firm. Turn fudge onto cutting board; peel off foil and cut into squares. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Tips:
Serve this decorative fudge in individual gold and silver paper candy cups or give as a gift in a small silver tin decorated with ribbons as a pretty gift.
I was watching Rachel Ray make this on TV and she also used white chocolate with pistachio's and dried cranberries. She used a deep pie pan with a small bowl placed in the center to make a wreath shape and then decorated it with maripan (or maybe it was those minty candy) leaves and a couple of dried cranberries to look like a sprig of holly.
She also made it with milk chocolate/PB chips and nuts and raisins... fruit and nut bar. I think you could sub any flavour chips and experiment with this one.

I suppose I could buy a bit ready made if the craving lasts

This one doesn't take as many ingredients, and is very yummy!

HERSHEY'S COCOA FUDGE

2/3 c. Hershey's cocoa
3 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Thoroughly combine dry ingredients in a heavy 4 quart saucepan; stir in milk. Bring to a bubbly boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring to 234 degrees (soft ball stage). Bulb of candy thermometer should not rest on bottom of saucepan. Remove from heat add butter and vanilla. Do not stir. Cool at room temperature to 110 degrees. Beat until fudge thickens and loses some of its gloss. Quickly spread in a lightly buttered 8 or 9 inch square pan. Cool. 3 dozen squares.
