A Spoonful of Fudge

I'm seeing this in my mind's eye and figure your classmates thought you were just the hit of the party. Great recall as always, Nancy.....K

Wow, you brought tears to my eyes.

If I had a choice I'd opt for fudge eaten with a spoon too!! The "gooier" the better when it comes to chocolate in any form. Poor mother - worrying herself so. Great story.

I love this time of the year, and reading the favorite memories people have of it. Enjoyed your fudge story!

Lovely to read this, Nancy. I too have made fudge like that many a time in my youth, until I discovered a fool-proof recipe. Kudos to you on this one.

My mouth is literally watering after reading your story, so I might have to go make a batch of fudge just to satisfy my chocolate tooth! Thanks for such a yummy story, Nancy. Is there any sweet treat better than chocolate?

Strong evidence that a "Mommy's mistakes" are often a child's greatest memories of "Mommy's perfections!"

This was heartfelt. Precious memories...

Oh my, I am writing between tears! When I reached the sentence about you taking the pan of fudge and 21 spoons to school that day, my heart just melted. In my mind's eye, I can see your little girl figure proudly marching into your classroom with your contribution. I can smell the aroma of good chocolate. You have evoked feelings with your story as well as having caused my taste buds to go into over-drive! Really, I may have to go to my kitchen and make a batch of the creamy candy and eat it with a spoon before it even has time to set! Thank you for a wonderful story, Nancy.

I missed this when you first posted it. Lovely story. I wish you had your mother's recipe to put with the posting. The fudge sounds yummy.
