I just whipped up two tasty treats for tonight:

Fudge – I took the recipe straight off the back of the jar of marshmellow cream.  Super easy.  I must say I'm a little disgusted at what all is in fudge.  Lots of sugar.  Lots of butter.  No wonder we all gain weight over the holidays.

Muddy Buddies – I got this from a website called Savory Sweet Life – i have ventured around it a bit and there are LOTS of good recipes on there worth trying!
