Christmas remembrances, this quantity can
be divided into several parts and each
favored in a different way. One part may
be mixed with nuts, one with nuts and
r2lsins, third with oranges or lemon rind
ana a fourth with grated cocoanut. Still
another portion can be poured over some
marShmalloWs cut in chunks. Some fudge
makers stir the marshmallows into the hot
fudge, but they melt when this is done and
their individuality Is usually lost, and
while they may improve the flavor slightly,
they are too good in themselves to be
thrown away In this fashion. Some palates
like dat and figs cut into tiny pieces ana
stirred into the fudge. chocolate fudge
favored with few spoonfuls of strong
coffee is another eccentricty. Fudges
made without chocolate may be varied in
the same ways. Maple sugar fudge is de-
Hcious with butternuts or walnuts
fudge made from brown sugar and cream
Is delicious with cocoanut. An excellent
college recipe for maple fudge calls for
two cupfuls of maple sugar, one cupful or
milk and tablespoonful of butter. It is
prepared like the chocolate fudge For
fudge mada with cream and brown sugar
use two and a half cupfuls of brown sugar
and a cupful of cream. Prepare in the
same way as ordinary fudge, but leave out
the butter.
