Sara Lee's Chocolate Fudge Icing Recipe
Does anyone know how I can make my own cake icing ('frosting' for Americans) that is the same as the Sara Lee Chocolate Fudge one sold in containers? I love this stuff, but it's so expensive here in Australia!

Buying and Preparing Exotic Fruit
I love to try new things, but there are many types of fruits in the supermarket that I'm afraid to buy because I don't know if they are ripe or how to eat them. I was staring at a Japanese pair the other day for example. Can people list what they are familiar with and tell me how to pick a "good" one and what to do with it when I get home? I would love to try a prickly pair too, but those thorn things get in my fingers!

Add ingredients in the freezer zip lock bag, close bag and release air out of bag; "massage" the ingredients until well mixed; drop into the boiling water and boil for 13 minutes only. Remove carefully from water; open bag slowly to release steam; roll omelet out of bag onto a plate.
This is a great recipe for camping or a sleep-over for teenagers. Each person can prepare their own freezer zip lock bag with the omelet ingredients. Adult supervision should be used for removal of the bags from the boiling water.
This recipe was adapted from a PBS Hunting Show.

Present this in a canning jar and it will almost be too pretty for the recipient to eat! Enjoy!
Layer ingredients in a quart sized canning jar in the following order:
Walnuts or pecans, butterscotch morsels , semisweet chocolate morsels, coconut, graham cracker crumbs. Place lid on jar and cut a piece of fabric large enough to come down over lid and secure with a rubber band. Use pinking shears to cut fabric for a pretty edging.
Attach the directions for baking the bar cookies on pretty paper with the following directions:
To make this recipe, you'll also need:
Melt 1/2 cup of butter. Add top layer of graham cracker crumbs. Pat evenly in bottom of an un-greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining layered ingredients into the crumb mixture and spread even with spoon. Pour can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over all. Bake at 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes; cool. Cut into bars. Makes about 36 bars.
To attach instructions, punch a hole in the corner of the paper with a punch, then attach with the instructions with a ribbon or twine tied around the lid (hiding the rubber band).
You can also include a wooden spoon with the jar! These are really pretty when done! They make great Christmas gifts or any time of the year gifts. Enjoy!
