Every year my friend Melanie and her husband Richard put on a lovely Holiday party. Melanie makes ham, prime rib, with side dishes of homemade macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and gravy.
We all look forward to a marvelous dinner with 2 dessert specialties and great conversation.
At the end of the evening Melanie makes sure we all go home with leftovers for more meals which is a wonderful bonus!
Melanie also sends us home with a box of her famous peanut butter fudge!
It is the best melt in your mouth fudge I have ever had. If you aren’t a big fan of chocolate this is a great alternative. I’m sure you will love it!
