Quick Rolls
Dense delicious rolls. Don't even bother looking for another bread recipe. These rolls are perfect if you need rolls fast. They are quick rising so you can either let them rise, or you can start baking and they will rise while they bake. Thanks to our friends the Reidheads here in NM.
INGREDIENTS:
3 C warm water
3 Tbsp. Yeast (I just use my Fleischmanns active dry yeast original)
1/3 C sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
2 eggs
1/3 C melted butter
7 C bread or all purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add yeast, warm water and sugar in a bowl. Mix butter and eggs in separate bowl. Add to yeast mixture with salt and add flour 1 C at a time. Sometimes it takes 8 Cups (most times). Knead 5-8 minutes (I do it with my Kitchenaid). They can rise if you have time or just bake and they rise while baking. This makes 32 Rolls. Cut the dough in half, then keep cutting each half in half until you have 32 balls. Flatten the ball then make your hand in a circle (pointer finger and thumb) then press the dough through the hole until you've pressed it all through and a ball forms in your palm.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 mins. You can brush tops with butter after if you'd like as well.

Million Dollar Fudge
The fudge we all grew up with. Given to mom by Helen S Robbins. I'm not sure who she is, but I'm grateful for her for giving mom this recipe. I call this mom's fudge. When I think of it, I think of Christmas. That's when mom would always make it.

Have ready in a large bowl or pan:
10 oz. Miniature marshmallows
1 pkg (16 oz.) chocolate chips
2 Large hershey bars (16 oz. total)
2 C nuts (optional)
4 1/2 C white sugar
1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
1/2 C butter
1 tsp vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS:
Bring sugar and evaporated milk to a boil. Add in the butter and vanilla and boil for exactly 5 minutes. Pour over the first mixture you have ready in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Pour into a large buttered pan.
Let set until firm - about 24 hours. But let's be honest... no one ever waits that long. More like 24 half a seconds.
