Cookies 'n' Cream Fudge

I just want to say... 1,000 page views! Thank you everyone for visiting my blog! It motivates me to keep posting! I simply would like to add that I would really, really (did I say really?) appreciate comments and feedback!

Now onto the food! Who doesn't love fudge, and who doesn't love Oreos?! Let me say that when they are mixed together, the result is magical unicorns jumping over rainbows. Haha, well maybe not, but it is still very delicious! I have had to ban my dad from the fudge for his own good, because I think he is addicted now.

This is certainly a good recipe that I will bring out each holiday season from now on. Fudge is a great item to put in a holiday sweets gift!

Christmas music, Christmas trees, Christmas atmosphere! It is only the fourth day of December and already I am in the Christmas spirit, to the max. The Christmas tree was just put up today and it looks spectacular! It is a family tradition to all go together and saw down the tree by hand. It may take some work, but it makes memories.

This recipe for Graham Cracker Toffee is one from my mom, and let me just say that I've probably gained about 500 pounds from eating it. It is so addicting!

Grinch Cookies

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was phenomenal! It was a lovely day that was spent gorging on turkey, sweet potatoes, and anything pumpkin! Also, football played a major role in the day, as did Black Friday Shopping!

It was my first ever experience of the mad rush of shoppers. it was fun though, and I got great deals on gifts and a new phone for myself (I couldn't help it :p). I was in North Carolina, so their malls are HUGE! Maybe not for them, but for this girl they seemed like a labyrinth of stores!

Now that Thanksgiving is time to begin the Christmas baking extravaganza! It is the perfect time of year to bake all the time without people thinking your weird. I also love giving the things I make away.

As it was the first day of December yesterday, I decided to pay tribute to the Grinch himself. Grinch cookies are minty, but also chocolatey! Yum!!

If you can't tell, the cookies are green!!
