The most demanded Christmas-exclusive recipe that my late mother in law kept from everyone (but meeee!)

In memory of an amazing mother in law. Love her to pieces.

Chef’s notes: grease a dish with butter before pouring the fudge. And !!DO NOT!! put it in the refrigerator to cool. Leave it on the counter to cool. Fridge = brick of sad chocolate. Also also, MIL’s preferred brand of peanut butter is JIF. I couldn’t care less what brand I use, but this mattered to her. ❤️

Edit: Canned milk = evaporated milk.

“Mars” creme = marshmallow creme aka Fluff.

    Yeah, I thought it was funny so I included it.

    Figured the situation was like you say.

    What’s above? I read something like “all in black walnuts”

      Another Christmastime tradition, cheese log

      To be honest, I think what she actually brought to family gatherings has evolved from this written recipe. She very much was a “little of this, a smidgen of that, taste it and adjust” type of cook. She probably used garlic powder vs mincing up a clove, and I am pretty sure she used chopped pecans vs walnuts (being that I’m mildly allergic to walnuts, and I never had a reaction to her cheese log). She would also save the leftovers for me specifically, and that’s pretty much all I ate on Boxing Day. 😁
