This is a lame recipe...
I use the left over Eagle milk and dipping chocolate from making carmels. I melt chocolate slowly over low heat, stir in milk until creamy and add spanish peanuts until it looks good. Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment paper and let cool.

Mom's Fudge
Every year for Christmas I let my kids pick one kind of candy they want to make with me and they each take a turn staying up and making it with me while the other kids are in bed.
Alyssa always picks carmel and Corynn always picks fudge, and fudge just isn't fudge to me if it's not my mom's...
4 C sugar
1/4 C cocoa
2 C heavy cream
1 Tblsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
Mix sugar, cocoa and cream in pan until dissolved. Stop stirring. Cook over medium heat and boil until mixture reaches soft ball stage. Remove from heat and allow to cool (if you wait too long it will set up, if you don't wait long enough it will sugar) Add butter and vanilla on top of mixture, just let it sit and melt while mixture cools. Stir until it looses it's gloss add nuts if desired and pour quickly into butter 9x13 pan.

Carmels
These are the best carmel ever. I got the recipe from an older lady who used to be in my ward. She made tons of chocolates every Christmas and taught me her ways of making candy. You have to make it right, but I've never had another carmel that come close to how good these are...
1/2 can eagle brand milk (no substitutes)
1 1/2 C heavy cream
1 C sugar
1 C light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Combine sugar and corn syrup in heavy pan. Bring to boil stirring frequently, cook until mixture thickens slightly (an important step, don't rush it) In the meantime combine cream & eagle milk and scald in microwave. Add cream to sugar mixture a little at a time so boiling never stops, stirring frequently. After cream has all been added continue cooking (stirring) over medium heat until mixture is at a soft ball stage. Remove from heat, add vanilla and salt. I pour mine in a greased pan that has cashews all over the bottom of the pan.
Cut into squares and dip into chocolate or just leave as carmels without choc.

Softest Ever Sugar Cookies
1 1/2 C butter
3 C sugar
3 eggs
16 oz sour cream
4 tsp vanilla
3 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
10 C flour
Cream wet ingredients, slowly add dry ingredients, dough will be a little sticky. The more flour you use the drier the cookies will be. Roll 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes but the time depends on the size and shape of cookie. I like my cookies to look white and baked all the way across the top, barely golden on the bottom, but the sides and top aren't brown.
