When I am needing a quick dessert or chocolate fix--I make this 5-minute fudge. If you are a baker you most likely have all the ingredients in your pantry. Fudge is flexible in that you can have add-ons like walnuts or pecans or sprinkles or even extra marshmallows.

Fighting the aging process is like trying to catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but it always has been.
