3 Quick Christmas Candies in Under 30 Minutes Pt2

3 Quick Candies in Under 30 Minutes
We are all busy these days and I don’t know about you but I am looking for things that make my life a bit easier in these fast times. Some would consider these recipes to be cheating and to them I say “you’re right,” and I will probably continue to cheat if it gives me more time with family and friends.
Rocky Road Fudge
3 cups white mini marshmallows
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup salted peanuts or walnuts/pecans
4 TBSPS butter
In a medium microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, milk and butter. Microwave on high stirring every 20 seconds until the chocolate chips are melted. Remove from the microwave and immediately stir in the vanilla, nuts and marshmallows. Stir quickly to combine and then dump the fudge into a parchment paper lined 9 X 13-inch pan. Chill 2 hours before cutting into squares.
Gingerbread Fudge
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 TBSPS molasses
4 cups of white chocolate chips
2 tsps ginger
2 tsps cinnamon
2 tsps nutmeg
Combine the milk and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is soft. You need to work quickly as this sets really fast. Add the molasses and stir through and then add the spices and mix to combine. Pour into a parchment paper lined 8 X 8 inch pan and pop it into the fridge for 2 hours before cutting.
Sugar Cookie Fudge
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 - 16 ounce tub of vanilla frosting
¼ cup sugar cookie mix that you purchase at the store
Christmas sprinkles if you have them.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl stirring every few seconds until the mixture is soft and the chips have melted. Remove the foil from the vanilla frosting and place the whole tub in the microwave and microwave for 30 seconds on high. Add the frosting to the chip and the cookie mix to the bowl mixing everything together thoroughly but quickly. Pour into a parchment paper lined 8 X 8 or 6 X 9-inch cake pan. Refrigerate 2 hours before cutting.

Thank you Shelly!

I just wanted to tell you that I really like your channel. You seem like such a sweet person and kind hearted and thoughtful. Many blessings to you and yours this Christmas season.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you so much for the kind comments. I appreciate you! May this holiday season shower many blessings on you as well.

[@mariaserpa-gauvin8405]

Love fudge. Have to try all of these recipes! Thank you

[@robstrck8]

Enjoyed watching your video. First time viewer ☺️ The snow falling in the background added to it.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello, I would love to be able to take credit for the snow falling still softly in the background but that wasn't me but it did add to the ambiance I feel like so thank you. Thanks for watching I hope that you will continue to watch in 2023. Merry Christmas! Colleen

[@marysimpson8457]

Gingerbread fudge....yum!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Its quite strong flavored, and not my favorite but my hubby likes it alot. Take care, Colleen

[@valerief1231]

I can’t wait to get started on these recipes, I’ve never had sugar cookie OR gingerbread, and I’m really intrigued by the latter, as I love gingerbread! Thanks for sharing easy to replicate recipes, these will save my energy, I’m currently dealing with a Fibromyalgia flare up, and the worst part is the joint pain and fatigue. I don’t mention it for sympathy, but to express why a simple method with a great outcome is such a blessing!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Valerie, I hope these recipes do indeed bless you. I eat the gingerbread one isn't my favorite but my husband really likes it. Cheers, Colleen

[@wendyzimmerman6002]

I too am in a. Fibromyalgia flare it’s not fun as I’m sure you know

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Valerie, I know exactly how debilitating Fibromyalgia flares can be so I'm happy that you feel like you will be able to use these recipes. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@cindystrother7710]

Thank you so much for sharing your awesome recipes

[@witcherwoo8938]

Love your videos, colleen! So glad you name the weight of the tins and packages you use as it really really helps people like me from other countries folloe your recipes..plus when the camera is so close it distorts the size of the products you use like for instance what looks like half a gallon container of condensed milk( exaggerating here 😊) turns out to be 400g or something! I wish other youtubers would follow your lead..... cannot tell you how helpful it is..should pull in a wider audience for you too hopefully!. You seem so much more easy in front of the camera too..love watching your progress. Keep going colleen, you doing good! ❤

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you so much for you kind comments and for sticking by me as I learn to do this. I appreciate you. Cheers, Colleen

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I am glad you enjoyed the recipes and hope you enjoy the fudge as well. Cheers, Colleen

[@karencolby5479]

Hi, I would call it short cut fudge or semi home maid! With all the other things to be done for the holidays, it is the thought that counts?! And in the long run true old-fashioned fudge is more costly! Sad that very few people can tell the difference?! I like your type of shows if, I fall behind! I would not have a clue to make something like this?! We have always made old-fashioned type! So, Thank-You! God-Bless!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Karen, short cut fudge is a great name for it because it really is a time saver. Thanks for watching. Colleen

[@tammy2465]

Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing

[@sharonboles1987]

So festive watching the snow falling out your window. I’ve watched all your videos and feel like we’re friends. Feel free to send me a care package of all your tasty treats! 🤣 I will be making some of these as well for my holiday get togethers!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Sharon, thank you, it was my hope that my viewers would feel like they were friends so thus makes me feel very accomplished. Cheers, Colleen

It is really good even with pecans or walnuts rather than peanuts. Best wishes, Colleen

[@daydreambeliever6603]

I love the snow outside the window while you make candy in your homey kitchen. Just lovely❤

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I while I was filming i didn't even notice the snow falling but many of my viewers did. It only snowed for a little while and then stopped. We have about 2 inches, which is hardly anything for us here. Cheers, Colleen

[@IMOO1896]

I see it’s snowing at your home, this might be the only snow I see this year. Love your new recipe ideas, I’m always looking for new treats. On the second recipe, maybe measure & blend your spices and dry ingredients together before you add to the melted chocolates. I like the way you can work, stir and put the ingredients in the pan, etc, while talking, you don’t stop at each step and tell a story about it. Yes these are quick!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Sandi, hahaha I'm a good multi tasker. Hope your holidays were memorable. Happy New Year!

[@ldg2655]

Eating the raw dough (or batter!) is the best part! My craving for a sweet is already satisfied by the time the cookies are done… LOL

[@oursilvermoments6028]

And that is true of so many! It seems that snitching bits of dough is even better than eating rhe cookies. Who doesn't love to lick the beater?

[@southernmercy5962]

Hi again from Tennessee! These recipes look so good and so easy! I've never had the gingerbread or sugar cookie fudge, but I'm definitely going to try them. Thank you so very much for sharing.

Whenever I made it the old way it was hit or miss if it came out grainy. This looks so much easier!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

So true, I've made many batches of fudge that came out grainy but I've never had it happen this way.

[@terryhoward6552]

These look good and unique! Also , I think u may have set me up with my first check book back in the days of Pioneer bank😊

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Terry, these are good and unique. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Colleen

[@lynsmith2698]

Hi, I’m 65 and my grama used to make an old fashioned fudge that was hard. I love that fudge so much better than the softer fudge. Would you happen to have a recipe for that kind? I am so sad I never had her recipe. It was choc fudge but she did make maple walnut too. Great video. Thanks 🇨🇦❄️

[@mrskimmieg]

The gingerbread fudge looks decadent. I’m going to make it for a party tomorrow night and am thinking I might crush some gingersnaps and sprinkle on tape before refrigerating.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

How did the fudge turn out Kimberly? I love the idea of the crushed gingersnaps.

[@mrskimmieg]

@@oursilvermoments6028 It was really good and I got lots of compliments on it. The crushed ginger snaps on top provided a nice contrast to the creamy texture of the fudge.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Excellent! I'm glad it turned out well for you!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Your welcome Wanda I hope you find them useful. Cheers, Colleen

[@Nixie007]

You said your not really making fudge, but I’ve tried all of these and I have another quick fudge recipe. Now this is NOT for those allergic to peanuts and you are one, so maybe instead of peanutbutter you can use Nutella which is Hazelnuts…. So you take your jar of peanutbutter or Nutella, one container of CREAM CHEESE icing, and one thing( bar) of cream cheese. Melt your peanutbutter to loosen it nicely from your jar and I use a scraping spatula so I get it all into a large bowl( MICROWAVE SAFE) then the cream cheese icing, scrape it all out, then your cream cheese, once you have all 3 ingredients in bowl, pop into micro I do 30 second intervals, you just wanna melt the cream cheese and icing so that you can incorporate both into your peanutbutter/ Nutella once cream cheese and icing are melted enough to stir, give that bicep a workout and stir, stir, stir, until all 3 ingredients are well mixed together, pour your mixture into an 8x8 lined pan….. I like to crush some toffee ahead of time and sprinkle that over my peanutbutter fudge, but these are great recipes for when you just don’t have the time to make old fashion fudge. I make both types of fudges, quick and longer way. This is fudge, you nailed it, it’s just a shortcut for those of us who just don’t have enough hours in our days🥰🎄HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Oh my gosh this sounds like another winner that could go onto a list of sweets that you use from one year to the next. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us! Happy Holidays!!

Hello, we managed to jat catch q little flurry. Less than 2 inches fell but thats a great eye you have :)

[@cindysoles9382]

Those look so delicious. I miss the days when a package of chips was 2 cups 🤣

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Isn't that the truth, the same with chocolate bars and wagon wheels.

[@bridgettbrennan673]

Hi Mrs Colleen 🙋🏼‍♀️ Ive just started watching your videos and if this is "cheating" then ima be a big ol cheater by Christmas lol Ive never heard of sugar cookie fudge or gingerbread fudge or had rocky road fudge so im excited to try all of these! I dont have a candy thermometer so ive never challenged myself to make the really good fudge.. ive tried the peanutbutter and vanilla frostin melted and mixed together but these still look so easy and they alk look so good! What kind of vanilla do you use? Ive never seen a bottle that size and the bigger bottles i have seen the names are totally unknown to me or very low on the totem pole on google .. its very expensive for a small bottle in ky (im guessing prolly everwhere) so it also limits how much baking i do and how much i "try" to do. Thanks so much for sharing your "cheat sheet" in the dooblie doo below lol.. im pretty excited to try these out soon. We have a gbb (grandbaby) coming anyday now so these are so possible to do for her mommy! *the reason i tried the pb & vanilla frosting mix* Thanks so much again! Take care and stay warm... that snow looks beautiful but cold! 🙋🏼‍♀️❤

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Bridgett, thank you for watching all these videos and congratulations on the impending arrival of your grand baby. I hope everything goes well for mom and baby. The vanilla is just an artifical vanilla. I believe it's the store brand. I try to use ingredients that are available to everyone. Best wishes, Colleen

[@patiencekates5975]

Wonderful! How would I store them? Do they need to stay in touch the fridge?

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello patience, yes I stored them in plastic containers in the refrigerator I think they would dry up too much otherwise. Colleen

[@susaneggena1880]

Is your regular fudge the same as rocky road except without the marshmallows?

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Yes, without the pecans and marshmallows.

[@clairepoirier2856]

You can put a towel under your dish cuts on the noise and prepare the spices before so liquide Don t set up so late

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You are right Claire, I just have to be a little more organized. Cheers, Colleen

So fast!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

[@kathysmith2541]

The only suggestion I have would be to use a wooden spoon to mix everything together. The metal spoons on the glass bowls I found annoying But, I loved the recipes 🌲🌲

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thanks for the tip! Sometimes I get busy and forget to pay attention to the small things. Cheers, Colleen

[@anitamoolman168]

Great recipes however why do you not use a spatula to clear the bowls. What a waste of fudge

[@bowler8]

expensive way of doing it

[@oursilvermoments6028]

It is expensive for sure but a time-saver for those who are short on time. Thanks for watching!

[@ginnywhite6327]

That tapping was so rude!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

It certainly wasn't intended to be rude! Best wishes Ginny.
