These recipes were given to me by some parishioner's when I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico.. People would always bring treats and cakes and pies to the Sisters and I ask for the recipes and this is what I got. I have had these recipes for over 52 years, hope you like them as much as we did!

[email protected]The nuts add a nice crunch to this fudge. I used chopped walnuts, but I think pecans or almonds would also be good.
