In the Raw MommyParty with Family, Friends & Fudge December 19, 2014

‘Tis the season for spending time with family and friends and if you throw in some homemade fudge it’s even better.  It seems as though we are all running around a mile a minute so it’s nice to slow down, take a breather and have fun with our loved ones.  

Getting together last Friday night with friends was a cause for celebration, we laughed, played games, decorated the tree and ate some delicious fudge that I

had made with Monk Fruit in the Raw.

Eating fudge brings back so many wonderful childhood memories and by using Monk Fruit in the Raw, a zero calorie sweetener, it made for a great adult indulgence.

Ingredients for this sweet treat:

2 1/2 cups of Monk Fruit in the Raw

1/4 cup butter

1 small can evaporated milk

1 jar Mamarshmallow fluff

3/4 tsp salt

3/4 tsp vanilla

1 package semi-sweet chocolate

Mix the first five ingredients, stirring over low heat until blended

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring slowly

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and chocolate until melted.

Pour into a buttered 9×9″ pan and cool

Cut into bite size pieces or roll into balls and sprinkle with confectioners sugar

Sitting around laughing and playing games was a great way to kick off a holiday weekend.  We even sweeten the tree with a few boxes of Monk Fruit in the Raw!

What sweet treat brings back childhood memories for you?  

It was nice having Kayla home from college for the holidays!  Friday night turned into a family fun game night

We took a break from decorating

Friday night spent with family, friends and fudge made with Monk Fruit in the Raw, what more could you ask for?
