A gift mug holding two small bags of fudge mix: chocolate, sugar and nuts in one, peppermint and marshmallows in the other. The recipient microwaves it into fudge.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 5 crushed peppermint candies
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons margarine (added when you cook the fudge)

Directions

  • Put the chocolate chips, sugar, and nuts together in one small zip-top bag.
  • Put the crushed peppermint and marshmallows in a second bag.
  • Set both bags in a mug lined with tissue, and add a tag and a small wooden spoon if you like.

Notes

Empty the chocolate mixture into the mug and add the margarine. Microwave about 3 minutes. Right away, stir in the marshmallows and crushed peppermint until the marshmallows melt. Cool 5 to 7 minutes, then refrigerate 8 to 10 minutes to set. Dry gift mix: cool, dry place, use within about 1 month, or refrigerate and use within 2 months. Prepared fudge: refrigerate, eat within 3 to 4 days.
