Easy microwave fudge

This is an update of my favorite stovetop fudge recipe. It is super easy to make!!

1½ sticks margarine or butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
3 cups sugar
2 cups (1 bag) chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tub marshmallow crème

Using a large microwavable bowl, mix together margarine or butter, sugar and evaporated milk. Microwave for 3 minutes. After the first 3 mintues, open microwave and stir mixture. Microwave for another 2 minutes, then take out and stir. Microwave for 2.5 minutes (watch for runover) then take out and stir. Microwave for a final 2 minutes (watching for runover), then take out and stir. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour into greased 9x13 pan then cover with plastic wrap. When ready to serve, cut into pieces.

Fruit flavored divinity

This wonderful recipe came from my mother-in-law. I have no idea how long she's been making it. We make this every Christmas to put on the goodie plates we take around to neighbors and friends. We do different flavors and colors to make a cheerful looking plate. As one friend in Hawaii said, "They are like little drops of heaven". They literally will melt in your mouth - and you can't stop with just one :)

3 Cups sugar
3/4 Cup water
3/4 Cup corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 package gelatin, any flavor

Mix water, sugar and corn syrup. Boil to hard ball stage. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until thick and fluffy. Add gelatin.

Once hardball stage, combine sugar mixture with egg mixture. Mix until thick. Quickly drop by spoonful onto wax paper.
