So with just days left before Christmas, I am in my usual pre-Christmas panic caused mostly by procrastination! I started off the month with the best of intentions, as I made several batches of my favorite fudge, but I made them too early, and we have eaten or given it away already. No problem! All I have to do is go to bed 15 minutes later each night to whip...
