1 lb confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup milk
1/4 lb butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Directions
1. Lightly grease an 8-inch square dish. Set aside.
2. Place confectioners' sugar and cocoa in a medium-sized,
heat-resistant, non-metallic mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
3. Add milk and butter to sugar-cocoa mixture. DO NOT STIR (I was
told to make a little well in the sugar stuff and then putting the
butter and milk in the well, and I'm surprised to find it doesn't say
that in the recipe...)
4. Heat, uncovered, on FULL POWER 2 minutes.
5. After cooking, stir just to combine ingredients.
6. Add vanilla and nuts. Stir until blended.
7. Pour into prepared dish and refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting
and serving.
Valerie's Note: Serve fudge squares with a big bowl of hot buttered
popcorn, turn on a good movie and nestle in with that special
someone....
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted an increase in recipe publications, some of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
