Ok. I know I’ve been on a healthy-ish food kick recently but this is a recipe that I can’t even pretend is healthy-ish. It is outright sinful. I can remember my mom making it and me and my siblings fighting over who got to lick the spatula. My dad would even get in on the action! My mom has been making this for as long as I can remember. And before that, my grandma was making it. Apparently, it is a recipe that was given to my grandmother by her neighbor, Mrs. Morton, way back when. So in our family, we’ve always called it Mrs. Morton’s fudge. But you can call it the best Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge ever!

I already told you that my family has the best tradition of making homemade Christmas candies! And I already shared the recipe for 2 of my 3 favorite homemade candies: Nuts & Bolts Candy Clusters and Peppermint Christmas Candies. And today I am sharing the most coveted of all of the recipes… Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls.
When I started posting these candy recipes, I had comments flooding in all over Facebook from friends and family asking begging me to share the recipe for our Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls. Fear not, dear ones! I am not mean {except that I saved this one for last… mwah ha ha!}! I have the famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Ball recipe for all of you!

**This weekend, I’m joining with 11 other awesome bloggers to share our favorite Christmas recipes! So come back on Saturday to see all “12 Days” of deliciousness!**
When I think about the Christmas season I think about snow, Christmas music and movies, Christmas decorations and family traditions. My family has so many traditions and I love each and every one of them. My favorite has always been making homemade candies!
When the holidays roll around we set aside a whole day to make so many different types of candies. My mom and grandma would do all the more labor intensive parts and us kids would fight over who would be the “taste tester” {afterall, that is the most important job! My mom would always let all of us “taste test”}! And as us kids got older we all lent a helping hand in the candy making. And even though I am far apart from my family for the holidays, I still love to keep the tradition going! I just make sure I call my mom while I’m in the midst of it! Last week I shared with you one of the candy recipes we always make: Nuts & Bolts Candy Clusters. Today I’m sharing my all-time favorite candy: Peppermint Christmas Candies!

Fall is definitely in the air and it is time that I start baking some delicious foods containing pumpkin, cinnamon, and/or apples! You may not know this, but I have something of a sweet tooth. In fact, I think my tooth is made out of sugar. I love desserts {the proof is in my Pinterest boards. There are about 5x as many pins under my “Sweet Treats” board! Or in my recipes I’ve posted about: most being desserts!} So with autumn settling in and beginning to change the leaves from green to burnt orange, I bought my first can of pumpkin to make this perfect pumpkin roll. I say first because I expect there will be MANY more cans bought and used around here!

You know how the Cookie Monster gobbles down cookies by smashing as much as possible into his face? Yeah. You can call me the Ice Cream Monster. {Are we all done laughing at the image of ice cream dripping down my face? Okay, good.} I’m an ice cream fiend. I love it. It is my downfall. I can’t really resist it… at all. It screams out to me, “Mmmm! Talitha! I’m so good! Come eat me!” And I happily skip off to obey my talking treat.
And since I’m pretending that making this treat is as part of my hold-on-to-summer-as-long-as-I-can mindset, I thought I would share it with you! It is absolutely scrumptious and I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of doing this before! I give you: Ice Cream Brownie Bites!
