I’ve had some people who have had trouble with my fudge recipes setting, and part of me wonders if people are mistakingly using Evaporated Milk instead of Sweetened Condensed Milk. It comes together crazy fast, and it has the sweet flavor of Nutella but is also just wonderfully soft and chocolatey. Okay, just about as sweet as my kid is this Nutella Fudge. When we finish his little fundraiser (BIG fundraiser?) and we purchase all the items, I promise to take pictures of him with them and I’ll share them here. And every time we get another email from someone saying they would like to donate money to his cause, we are so overwhelmed and we tell Gavin and he does a HUGE cheer! People are coming forward with money, but also with these wonderfully kind words about what a sweet kid we have. He’s already raised almost $200!Īs amazing as I find Gavin’s idea to help those in need, I find everyone’s generosity even more amazing. And then we are going to make the deliveries the next day. We are going to choose items from their wish list, like cans of soup, peanut butter, pancake mix, macaroni and cheese, art supplies, educational toys, diapers, formula, wipes, and we are going to go buy them on his birthday. We posted this picture on Facebook with the names of the two charities we would be donating to ( Milwaukee’s Hunger Task Force and Hope House if you are interested). I asked him if it would be okay if instead we asked our friends and family if they would be willing to donate money and then we would go and do some shopping. His original idea was that we would put boxes at the end of our driveway where people could drop off food and blankets. Isn’t that amazing? He felt so strongly about it, he was so fired up when I picked him up from school. So my oldest kiddo, Gavin, who will be 8 this December, recently decided all on his own that he wanted to do a fund raiser to gather blankets and food for the poor. And if those make you want to barf a little, you can totally skip to the bottom for the fudge recipe. This Nutella Fudge is a SUPER fast recipe that your friends and family will ask for again and again!
