]]>Pros: super quick and easy, pantry staples
Cons: minimal ingredients means you need better basic ingredients
Tools: double boiler or double boiler rig if being fancy; glass bowl in the microwave will do in a pinch.
spoon, 8x8 square or 9in round pan or something similar.
some foil, parchment or plastic wrap to line the pan
Basic Recipe: 3 minute chocolate "fudge" treat
2 c semisweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 T vanilla
line baking pan and set aside
empty can of milk in your double boiler, add vanilla, stir in chocolate chips stir until melted and combined
pour warm mixture into your prepared pan
chill in fridge until firm
Voila!
Options
2c chocolate chips substitute milk chocolate or bitter sweet chips
1T vanilla substitute mint, rum, almond, cherry, or other flavoring
stir in: other chips! like white chocolate, peanut butter, caramel or crushed candy like mints, toffee, mini M&Ms. Nuts and or dried fruit or crystallized ginger would also be yummy to stir in
I'd you are doing a stir in ingredient, you add them after everything is melted but sill in the pan.

the official name of this temple is Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Ratchaworamahawihan but is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. I'm checking it out to see why the Buddha has eight feet.
I like this stamp!
Another lovely cathedral this time in St Petersburg. The dome of St Isaac's Cathedral is poised behind the Chariot of Glory on the Arch of the General Staff - Such a great roof top view in this card. You normally don't get this perspective.
