Mrs. Hopper's Fudge
"A recipe published some time ago in the Moncton Times and Transcript. The columnist writes: "The recipe, contributed by Mrs. Grover (Erma) Hopper of Little River, Albert County, remains undoubtedly the most popular one published in 1980. Both Mrs. Hopper and myself have received hundreds of letters praising it and requests for copies from people who missed it. I am happy to reprint it today. It remains far and above the best fudge I have ever had and my family requests it regularly ever since I first tested it for this column.""

I used honey in place of the corn syrup and I added 1/2 Cup of cocoa powder before I cooked it and 1/2 Cup of peanut butter after it was cooked. This made a really sweet but delicious fudge. Thanks -

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
