 My Aunt Myrle was one of the best candy makers that I know. Several years ago, I asked her to share some recipes with me. She sent me a handwritten piece of paper with two recipes on it. The recipes are as follows:

Aunt Myrtle's Fudge
  • 1 tall can milk (condensed milk)
  • 2 T butter (2 tablespoons)
  • 4 1/2 cups sugar
  • dash of salt
  • 1 - 12 oz pack of semi-sweet chocolate
  • 3-4 oz sweet cooking chocolate
  • 1 pint marshmallow cream
  • 2 or more cups chopped pecans 
  1. Combine milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan.
  2. Bring to a rolling boil stirring often.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer 6 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, place the other ingredients except pecans in a large bowl. 
  5. Gradually pour the boiling mixture over the chocolate and marshmallows and beat until the chocolate is melted.
  6. Stir in the pecans and pour in a large, buttered pan. 
  7. Store in fridge or cool place several hours to harden before cutting in squares.

In order to be truly saved, you must have relationship with Jesus.   Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, n...

According to the analogy, people are on a journey. They can only go two directions. One direction is hell. The other direction is heaven. When you are born, you start out facing the direction of hell because of Adam’s sin. When you get ol...
