Cookie. Butter. Fudge.

Rich, creamy, delectable, mouthwatering, fudge that only takes 10 minutes to make! Super easy, the hardest part will be waiting for it to cool! #fudge #cookiebutter #easyfudge frostingandfettuccine.com

I don’t know what took me so long to find out about cookie butter. I know there was all that rage (thats apparently still going on) about Nutella, but I never got on board with that because of my nut allergy. So I always felt left out and just rolled my eyes while everyone was Nutella-ing it up. Then in comes this new thing called cookie butter- read about it in all my cooking mags, saw it all over insta, but when I went to search for it in store, I could not find any brand that was kosher. I find out from a friend that some kosher supermarkets sell it because they import it from Israel.

Cut to me racing to a store to find it, only to see that it is $11 dollars for a peanut butter sized jar. Cursing under my breath I sucked it up and took it home.

Jar open, spoon in hand, I went in for a dip and OMG, it was like a EUREKA MOMENT with angels singing in the background. It seriously tastes like hearts and rainbows and cookies and everything that is good in this life blended up together into one $11 jar of happiness. Worth it.

So I started thinking, obviously I can just eat the whole thing with just a spoon, but what else can I do with this? I created a cookie butter biscotti recipe, that if you follow me on Instagram (do it), you saw it over and over, and I do plan on posting it here eventually, but I sent it into a magazine to see if they would publish it first. I should probably follow up that also because that was 6 weeks ago.

ANYWAYS to get back to this cookie butter story, another friend heard me spewing my love/hate relationship with cookie butter because its so damn expensive and goes, you know they sell that at Walmart for less than $3 right? WHATTTTTTTTTTTT. So heart racing, into the car I went again (yes I will drop anything for cookie butter) and rush to get there, find the cookie butter (in creamy and crunchy style!) and cleared out the shelf. No shame included.

Now after Ive calmed down a little bit, and with all my cookie butter booty- Im finding new, fun, and easy ways to incorporate it into desserts. Like this fudge!

This is basically a treat y’oself dessert/candy. It is NOT diet food. It is- I am an awesome person, and I deserve a treat, so I will make myself this fudge and feel like a total goddess food. It is worth every. single. calorie.

It takes 10 actual minutes to make and then has to chill in the fridge for a little bit, and then- INDULGE.

Rich, creamy, delectable, mouthwatering, instant happiness fudge.

    I made this today and couldn’t get the fudge to set after leaving in the fridge for about 2 hours and then in the freezer for 30 minutes. I taste delicious, but it’s more like a sauce than actual fudge. I tried adding a little bit of evaporated milk to the mixture and reheating it in the microwave to cook it a little longer. I’m now leaving it in the fridge overnight to see if it’s salvageable.

    I have a feeling the mixture needs to be cooked significantly longer in step #4, not just until the butter is melted and ingredients are blended. After looking at other fudge recipes, I’m thinking it probably needs to be cooked until the mixture thickens more.

Just a reminder that your work has to suck before Just a reminder that your work has to suck before it can get better. Its super easy to see all these beautiful photos from photographers- the ones who make it seem so easy to do, the ones who’s ideas you wish you had. 

Just remember these people all started somewhere too. Noone woke up with the ability to create scroll stopping images.

They are ALL a result of pushing through that phase where everything you create feels like 💩.

In fact if you have been feeling like that it’s actually a good thing- because you know you want to get better, you know what good taste is and what it isn’t. And eventually you will have it.

So keep going- keep learning, stay curious, pick apart the photos that leave you speechless ad ask yourself why.

You’ll get there if you dont give up 💪🏻

Truth 💣: Manual mode is confusing! If its tak Truth 💣: Manual mode is confusing! 

If its taking you a while and you still do not understand all the settings or WTF aperture, ISO, and shutter speed mean, ITS OK!

It took me a while to really understand each setting and how they all worked together.

But once I got it, it all clicked into place (see what I did there 🤣)

If your struggling with understanding your settings, check out my DSLR bootcamp- a mini course on mastering your DSLR camera so you can finally feel confident behind the lens.

This is the mini course I WISH I had when I first started. The program is super quick and designed to give you a very CLEAR understanding of how each setting works with examples to boot.
