Welcome, Welcome  from
Sweetie,Candie, Kandi, Sugar,Kandy and Yum-Yum, the
Elves in charge of making all the fudge. We have many, many,
helper elves, and we couldn't do it all with out them. When you
are having *sugarplum* dreams be sure to thank all the
sweet elves at the Jingle Bell's Kitchen.
 

After many requests we are going to give you,
as our Christmas gift, our two favorite fudge
recipies! One is the short cut fudge and it
is the younger elves favorite. The other is the
old fashioned kind you have to cook a long
time and beat ,by hand ,a long time. All the
older Elves love this one the most.

Do you have a favorite?
Try them both to find out.
