My 1st fudge following this Hershey's Rich Cocoa Fudge recipe.
http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipes/detail.asp?id=5303&page=1&per=10&keyword=cocoa%20fudge

Appeared OK, looked ok, family liked it, quite a sugar/chocolate rush.
Q's:
Attempting to reach 234 F temp was a struggle.
Skimped on the Saucepan size -- used 3qt instead of 4qt (not intentionally)
Result: The lava-like slow bubbling approached the ridge. To keep it from overflowing, I lower fire --resulting in a reduced boil, but also reduced temp Increase flame yielded overflow threat again.

Did this a couple of times, -- a yo-yo- effect on the boiling glob.
Near end of this exercise, I put fhe flame High -didn't come up to rim this time & temp didn't increase further.
Didn't reach desired temp at this time but thought I might have hit it during the yo-yo effect -- or missed it by 1 or 2 deg's
Q1) Had I not reached temp, would it have set up properly ?
Q2) Did yo-yo have effect on quality ?

Thank YOU

Hubby and I are in Phase One and it's going great, but the desserts in the book aren't that great. I have a recipe for Chocolate Mousse that I love, but Hubby wants peanut butter fudge. Any ideas for something that will work to satisfy him? Thanks so much.

I hear that some people believe it to be much more nutritious than regular.

Most people have a preference. I'd like to hear from people who use both.

about this and wanted everything to be perfect. At the very last minute, she realized that she didn't have any snails for the dinner party, so she asked her husband to run down to the beach with the bucket to gather some snails. Very grudgingly he agreed.
He took the bucket, walked out the door, down the steps, and out to the beach. As he was collecting the snails , he noticed a beautiful woman strolling alongside the water just a little further down the beach.
He kept thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be great if she would even just come down and talk to me?" He went back to gathering the snails.
All of a sudden he looked up, and the beautiful woman was standing right over him. They started talking and she invited him back to her place. They ended up spending the night together. At seven o'clock the next morning he woke up and exclaimed, "Oh no!!! My wife's dinner party!!!"
He gathered all his clothes, put them on real fast, grabbed his bucket, and ran out the door. He ran down the beach all the way to his apartment. He ran up the stairs of his apartment.
He was in such a hurry that when he got to the top of the stairs, he dropped the bucket of snails. There were snails all down the stairs.
The door opened just then, with a very angry wife standing in the door way wondering where he's been all this time.
He looked at the snails all down the steps, then he looked at her, then back at the snails and said, "Come on guys, we're almost there!!"

My cousin has all these allergies and I wanted to cook something a bit different or more interesting than what he's always eaten.
All serious responses would be REALLY appreciated.

Along time ago a relative made these cookies to die for and they had Jello instant vanilla pudding in the recipe. I came across it once but misplaced it. You have to lesson flour or sugar or something though, I think. Anyone know?

I used them to decorate my Three Kings Bread, but have quite a bit left. What else can I do with them? How long do they keep?
