More Monday Baking.

Now, you might have been thinking, "Does Rosie EVER screw up?"

The answer, sadly, is yes.

Yesterday, Rosie decided to try Carnation Famous Fudge.

Here's the arrrusssuuppppeee:

2 TB butter

2/3 cups evaporated melk
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups Nestle's Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp vanella aigstract

Now, what Rosie did, if you noticed the above picture, was DOUBLE this arrrussssiuuuupppeeee.

And sometimes, you just.are.not.supposed.to.double.















Combine: butter, evaporated melk, sugar, and salt in medium-sized, heavy saucepan.

Bring to a boil over medium hear, stirring constantly.










Boil for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
(I boiled
for 6.)


Remove from heat.

Stir in: chocolate morsels, marshmallows, walnuts, and vanella.

Stir vigorously until
marshmallows are melted.
















The original instructions said to pour INto a foil-lined 8-inch square pan.

Since I had doubled the arrrusssuupeee, I poured it INto a 9 x 13 pan.

















Sprinkle walnuts over top.

I used a combination
of walnuts and pecans.


Chill until firm.
















Oooookay. Remember how I said some arrusuupppees just aren't meant to be doubled?

Well this is one of them.

I not only chilled the damn fudge, I froze it for 24 hours.

When I sliced INto it to cut it INto small squares, it was like cutting INto icing.

This is an unholy gloppy mess!

























So, Rosie's thinking to herself, "How do I fix this mess?"

And she decides to roll the chocolate INto balls, then maybe roll in cocoa powder and nuts to make truffles.


Sounds like a plan!

Uhhhh. NOT.

These balls are dissolving before my eyes into llllllittle chocolate puddles.

So sad.

Snadra Lee Truffles!

Cat-Poo Truffles!!

OH Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

What to do?

What to do?

Rosie proceeds to Plan B.

Rosie scrapes the goo off the foil.


























More goo-scraping.

Chocolate goo goes INto a pan.












This is a Gawd-awful mess.

But will it work?

I put it all back in the pan and brought it to a boil, constantly stirring, until it hit 300 + degrees.

Poured it back INto a foil-lined pan
and chilled it.

And here are my lovely little
chocolate squares.

Rosie done good.

She took a mess and remedied it!










I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.

WALLAH!!!
