The budding fudge maker with the finished product ready to be served and eaten!
Growing up in the Whalen household was an adventure which gave me an incredible appreciation and deep love for food!!! In addition, I learned the secrets of the trade which helped me become the incredible cook and baker I am today!!! :) Both my parents are amazing cooks, but mom is the expert baker in the family. I cherish my childhood memories of mom always in the kitchen baking up a storm ! (I loved to bake alongside her with my "Easy Bake Oven!" ) We always had fresh, homemade baking for dessert..mmmm...so yummy! Mom continues to bake up a storm today and I thought I would share her now famous fudge recipe! Enjoy and may you make many memories in the kitchen for your family!
