3 ingredients hot fudge

This is the easiest and yummiest hot fudge recipe! It takes just a few minutes and can be done in the microwave. It is thick and creamy. I don't think I'll find one better.

A cup, a cube and a can Hot fudge

1 cup chocolate chips, any kind will work.

1/2 cup butter, or known as a cube

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

Melt the chocolate chips and butter in the microwave. One minute to start and the 30 increments until melted. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Serve on ice cream or other lovely desserts. Keep in the fridge, but it will disappear fast.

Local honey!

This spring, a friend approached us about keeping bees as a joint venture. They would carry most of the financial burden and we'd watch them as well as provide the location. How's that for local!  I insisted that they were away from where the kids played, especially to help unsuspecting or curious kids away.

The bees were busy all summer and we hardly noticed them. Fall rolled around and it was time to harvest!

Aaron and Kevin collected the honey and took it to be spun.

We like to think that the bees helped the local farmers.

We ended up with really delicious honey, which we split with the other family. We can't wait to see what next year brings, hopefully more honey!
