Valentine and Christmas Candy or any candy is now my favorite, however this was one recipe which  begs to be tried.  Skillet Chocolate Fudge is an old recipe found in a box of recipes stored and forgotten.  It is easy and quick; it does not use a candy thermometer to know when it is ready.  Using the electric skillet at 280 F  does it for you.  

Here Is Skillet Fudge!

Have you ever had a day when things are not going your way.  From cartoons to health magazines, chocolate is there to help offset.  Creamy Chocolate Pudding is a quick simple recipe to ease what ever ails you or for your chocolate sweet tooth.  There may be a few people who do not like chocolate, however, following the food community blogs, they must be few and far between.

Chocolate Fact:  There is a little caffeine in chocolate, darker chocolate can have as much as a can of Coca-Cola.  More interesting facts of chocolate  

Pudding , a dessert for adults, not just kids!

Of course I had to tamper with the original recipe I found in Fight Back With Food:  Use nutrition to heal what ails you”. It is a 2002 edition The Reader’s Digest Association, Inc.  This is an interesting  book of defining foods and their nutrients for various diseases with recipes to follow. The pudding recipe recommended soy milk, I have used rice milk, and currently using 2% lactose free milk.  The recipe is “Mint Chocolate Chip Pudding.”  Because mint chocolate flavor is not a favorite of my husband, I used coconut flavoring, giving it a very nice taste.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

Recently I had some cherry truffle chocolate ice cream.  Aha!  To add a little pizzazz to the pudding, I diced up some maraschino cherries to stir in with the chocolate chips, topped the dishes with a drizzle of the maraschino juice and a cherry on top.  I was just missing the whipped cream.  I had added some crushed toasted almonds to some of the dishes, which was good too, however almost too much with the size of these dishes.  It became,  “Where is the pudding?”
