This post is dedicated to all of you who read my silliness day after day.
I especially love the comments and the emails that I get.
99% of the feedback I get from you is so inspiring...and even that last 1% is appreciated, because I feel that even if you have a negative opinion to share, you still have an opinion about me and that's something, isn't it!?
So, to thank you all, I have the perfect Christmas present for you from CSN stores. I know you guys are all familiar with CSN...you can get everything from a Panini Press to leather messenger bags. Without a doubt you can find the perfect gift for either yourself or anyone else in your life!
One thing I love getting from y'all is requests...
I got an email from a reader named Callye a few weeks ago asking if I could post a recipe for a certain kind of fudge.
In the words of Barney Stinson..."Challenge accepted"
Here's my version of Cookies and Cream fudge:
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup sweetened Condensed milk
1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
1 t. vanilla
2 cups white chocolate chips
2 cups crushed Oreos (about 30)
1 cup coarsely crushed Oreos (about 15)
Line 9x9 square pan with foil and spray with cooking spray evenly
In a medium saucepan combine butter and sweetened condensed milk.
Heat over medium heat until mixture is boiling, stirring constantly.
Continue to stir while boiling for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in Fluff, white chocolate chips, vanilla and 2 cups crushed Oreos.
Spread into prepared pan.
Now sprinkle 1 cup coarsely crushed Oreos on top and press gently into fudge.
Chill for 1 hour and cut into squares!
Now, to the free stuff.
How about $180 to spend on whatever you want over at CSN Stores?
$180 !
All you have to do is leave a comment.
That's it.
You could tell me what you would buy.
You could tell me what you love most about me ;)
You could tell me what you ate for lunch yesterday.
Just leave a comment and make sure you leave me a way to contact you...we are all busy this time of year so please don't take me away from wrapping my children's presents to search for your email address.
While I would LOVE it if you tweeted, facebooked, liked or followed me I'm not gonna make you.
But you could. It's the holiday season after all :)
So leave a comment and cross your fingers!
Good luck!

Hi! I really enjoy reading your blog. Last night I bought some Ritz Flipz crackers and I dipped them in white chocolate and let them cool. Then I dipped them in milk chocolate and sprinkled some toffee bits on top. To finish them off I drizzled some white chocolate on top. They are super cute treats and delicious too! Thanks for your baking inspiration.

I like you.
Maybe even love you.
But you know that ;)
Merry Christmas!!!
I love your blog! I check it regularly and your sense of humor cracks me up. Thanks for making approachable recipes. Right now if I were to buy a gift for myself it would be a cookie carrier. I brought cookies to a cookie exchange at work today in a cake carrier and it doesn't quite fit the bill.
Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes! You've inspired me to bake more, and my family appreciates that :)
smalls6464(at)gmail(dot)com
I love your blog anyways.... but this giveaway makes it better since its right before the holidays too! =)
That recipe looks yummy. Love reading your blog.:)
Kids love anything with cookies in it...why not fudge. Love your blog! brittanymcardle at gmail dot come
I really want some of that cookeis and cream fudge, but I'd take $180 too!

Yum!!! These look so good. What a treat!
I would buy lots of baking stuff!!
I would buy more presents for my wonderful husband and pug and cat :D
I have so many of your recipes saved in my baking wishlist. Now adding another!
1. You have great recipes! and your photography is so pretty too!
2. In all the holiday hullabaloo I managed to put my cell phone through the wash on Monday. The money would pay my insurance to get a new one!
Ohhh, that fudge looks amazing!!!
First of all, I love your style and writing on your blog. Its really what inspired me to start my blog- I was like " I want to be just like her!" Anyways, If I had $180 dollars, I would probably by myself a new rug for our living room, or linen for my boys room- they are still stuck with the flowered guest linen!
i'm probably going to be thinking about this fudge ALL DAY!
I have a daily list of blogs to check. You're at the top! Keep it going!
I just found your blog a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it! It makes my mouth water :)

Hope you're enjoying the holiday! :)

I LOVE YOUR BLOG, i have gotten so many great recipe ideas from it and you make me look like a baking extraordinaire! I would use the money to buy my mom and grandmother new bake wear. Both are in desperate need of new bake wear but worry about what everyone else needs and not themselves. So if I was to win I would use the prize on them!
Happy Holidays

I just finished making the Santa hats...SO adorable! I know this will be a gift that is well-received!!
First I would buy a cute apron so I can look good while baking cupcakes and other Christmas goodies. Then I would use the rest of the money to buy some fitness equipment to work off all of those Christmas goodies!!
Merry Christmas!!

just recently started following you. i like your writing style. yesterday for lunch i had leftover corn pudding from Thanksgiving (it had been frozen).
I should probably start wrapping presents. My kids' gifts are all "hidden" under the bed. They're young enough I can still do that. I tried getting my husband to use that same hiding spot for my gifts, but for some reason he refused!
Anything Oreo can't go wrong, will have to add this to my arsenal of yummy treats for sure! Thanks for the recipe!
Well,
I love your blog, you are so creative and inspiring!Your sweet treats are amazing! Love how you write, I feel like you are talking to ME :)so when I read it, it's like I'm with a friend. You are special that way!
Forgot to leave my email: serena.schmidt22@gmail.com

Your fudge looks so amazing! I love oreos and fudge is my weakness! Now this is on my list to make this weekend. Thank you! And $180 to CSN? Holy smokes! Yes, please! =o) crazybulldogs at comcast dot not
I'm so happy to have stumbled across your delicious blog. Thanks for all the mouth watering recipes and ideas. Made oreo turkeys for Thanksgiving - fun fun. Will bake like crazy next week! Please enter me to win. I have lots to buy :) fdale45@yahoo.com

So excited about some of these recipes!
Your blog cracks me up! I eagerly await your next post! The recipes are to die for! Thanks for your blog and have a fabulous Christmas!
Wow...that fudge looks amazing!!
Since we are moving into our new home on Monday, $180 from CSN stores would be an awesome Christmas present! The new house has a secondary kitchen in the basement which I will need to fill with stuff! New mixing bowls, spatulas and a new food processor would be on my wishlist!! Thanks!
lorenoneill@aol.com
I will be making this fudge this weekend--I see it becoming a fast favorite in our house!!
mabbrady@yahoo.com
Cookies and cream fudge seems to be a popular pick this year! Looks delicious.
My favorite brownie recipe is cookies and cream, so this fudge is perfect for me :) Drooling over here!
And thanks for hosting such a generous giveaway! I could do some serious damage with that much loot.
Wow that fudge looks amazing. My 6yo would love it since it has Oreos.
I was just trying to remember the name of that website this morning and here you posted about CSN. I'm heading there to browse around now.
bkee 13@aol. com (no spaces)
i love that your fudge is full of tons of oreo deliciousness
I love your blog! Your button is on my blog at http://oldfashionedsodafountain.blogspot.com

This fudge is going to be a serious reason why I am not going to lose five pounds by Christmas (okay. There are many reasons. This is but one. Oy.) Thanks for this and for the giveaway! You rock.
I am insane over just about everything you post!! Thanks!
Awesome! I am totally making this fudge tomorrow night. (I need to use my leftover oreos.) I love that you take pictures of your food with vibrant backgrounds. It always looks so cheery.
It looks amazing!!! :)
I love the sounds of this recipe! I think I must try it asap!
That fudge LOOKS amazing!!! I just might have to add it to my holiday baking list. Can you imagine how divine it would taste with Peanut Butter Oreos?? NOM NOOM!!!
CSN has something for everyone! I'd probably splurge and get my daughter the Magic Garden Book shelf - as we are hoping to re-do her room and it would fit perfectly with the ideas that I have in my mind.
I love your blog! I always find someting fun to make with my 2 year old! If I won the money I would use it to buy christmas presents for my husband! We've had a bad year and I would love to be able to get him a gift.
toni.atwell@rocketmail.com

I love your blog so much! You always post the most delicious looking things and I always try to make most of them. My husband isn't very supportive. He thinks we are all going to get fat, but we cant if I make it, have a piece, and give the rest away. We will just have fat neighbors and that will make us look even skinnier. Ha.

I love your sense of humor and all your GREAT recipes!

Fudge definitely has the best effort to payoff ratio of any holiday treat. Time to stock up on marshmallow fluff!
I would use this to help our neighbors by Christmas gifts this year, they recently found out their 8 year old son has cancer.
I LOVE your site and it always brings a smile to my face!
Merry Christmas and God Bless!
I was sad that Holland did not have the ingredients I needed for that mix you made. Those Santa hats rock my world!! Now I'm back in Canada for Christmas and I am definitely trying it out. THanks!
