When life hands you marshmallow fluff, make fudge

I thought you'd get a kick out of my latest Fifties Chix video, wherein I made Mamie's Million Dollar Fudge. The recipe is in my new book, Travel to Tomorrow. My grandpa ("Boompa") is a retired engineer (which is like a "retired" Marine; once a Marine, always a Marine). He read my Fifties Chix book cover to cover and dutifully made the fudge. He called from where he lives in California to tell us how it went (it was delicious and it made 100 pieces) and asked if I'd made it yet. Slightly embarrassed, I admitted I hadn't. I figured I'd better get on it before I sold millions of books and had to admit to readers that I hadn't tasted the fudge, much less made it! Making this video reminds me of how I cook for company: I almost always make something new and experimental. Whit always asks if I'm "sure" I want to try a new recipe on guests. Kinda like including a recipe in a book before you try the recipe, you mean? Yeah, sounds fun!
