Hot Fudge

This recipe is from my friend Laura Hainsworth. It is super easy to make, and it is so delish! It is even good to eat on a spoon! :)

6 ounces chocolate chips
½ cup corn syrup
¼ cup milk
1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
¼ teaspoon vanilla

Heat chocolate and syrup until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients until blended.

Breadsticks

These breadsticks are pretty easy and oh so delicious! I've made this with or without the parmesan cheese, so if you don't have it, you can still make them. They are better WITH the cheese though! :)

Mix together:
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 TBSP Parmesan cheese

In another bowl or mixer combine:
1 pkg yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2/3 cup warm milk
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 cups flour

Beat until dough pulls away from sides of mixer. Mix well 3-5 minutes. Let rise till double. Roll into small ropes. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil mixture. Place ropes on cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Brush with oil mixture. Let rise 30-45 minutes. Bake at 375-400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Optional-add parsley for color in olive oil mixture.
