Thankful Day 1

My son, daughter, and me

I'm Thankful for my two kids. If it weren't for my kids I don't know what I'd do with myself. They may drive me absolutely up the wall some days, but they are always the best part of every day. My two sweet little pumpkins. I love them with all my heart.

Mott's Medley's Fruit Snacks

I was recently given the opportunity to try a new product, Mott's Medley's Fruit Snacks I was definitely on board for these. My kids LOVE fruit chews, but I don't like all the artificial coloring and flavoring in them. Well, Mott's has the answer these are made with natural flavors and coloring, plus they have vegetable juice in them too. 

My kids, hubby and I all really enjoyed these. They were soft, chewy, and super tasty. At first I was afraid my kids wouldn't like them because you can slightly taste the carrot juice in some of the snacks, but they gobbled them right up. So these were definitely a thumbs up from both of my little ones and me.

I got two boxes of these, one of both of the flavors above. My hubby said he like the Assorted Fruit the best, my kids loved them both, and I liked them both as well. If you want to see the nutrition information click the link to take you to Mott's website directly to the nutrition and other information.

I received product to facilitate this review thanks to MyInsite, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Peanut Butter Fudge

I don't usually share this recipe with ANYBODY, and I mean anybody.  So everyone should feel extra special because I have decided that it is time for the world to know the secret of my fudge. :) Everyone that I have ever made this for LOVES it, and that is not an exaggeration.  Everyone really loves this recipe, I always have to make a double batch at both Christmas and Thanksgiving.  I don't usually use real butter when I cook, but when I bake or make any kind of sweets I use real butter.  For this recipe I suggest using real butter instead of margarine because it tastes soooo much better.  I didn't take any pics of this recipe, I know such a slacker, but when I make it at Christmas or Thanksgiving I'll take some and put them here for you all to see.  Also, I don't butter my pan I spray it down with cooking spray.  :)  After it has been chilled you can invert the pan to get the fudge out and then cut it into whatever size squares you would like.  It is extremely rich though, so small to medium squares are best.  Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this recipe and the delicious fudge that it makes. :)
