This column is usually about cooking WITH kids. But if you’re like me, you are obligated-out this month in a glittery swirl of holiday shopping, parties, dinners, and concerts, not to mention the usual keep-the-house-going duties. Cooking with kids is likely low on your list. It is on mine, too.
There was a time, pre-children, when I made dozens of Martha-style hand sugared gingerbread snowflake cookies as party favours for our festive open house. Our holidays look a bit different now, but I still like to give goodies from our kitchen, even if I don’t have time for marathon baking sessions.
For the past few years, I’ve been making fudge from a quick, super-easy recipe passed along by my friend Kendra. It’s simple to make, easy to divvy up, and quick enough to knock off before you get dressed for your neighbour’s tree-trimming party. Pop a block of fudge into a little cello bag, or parchment paper package tied up with string. If you have an extra few minutes and want to win points for fanciness, cut the fudge into little cubes and tuck it into a parchment-lined tin or box.
