Chocolate Syrup (like Hershey's)

If you want the best hot fudge sauce you ever put in your mouth, make this one~

Sander's Hot Fudge Sauce

1 can evaporated milk
1 lb. Kraft caramels
1/2 lb. butter
12 oz Nestle's Milk Chocolate Chips

Combine all ingredients in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until smooth. Continue to cook for 30 minutes, stirring to prevent scorching. Put hot sauce through blender or beat at high speed with electric mixer for a few minutes. Pour into refrigerated containers, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. (it won't last that long)

HMMM...so if you can't have chocolate, I'll bet you could use butterscotch chips instead of chocolate.......

Blue dye in marshmallows drives me crazy (youngest son is very allergic/sensitive to Blue Lake #2) but I do understand why it's there.

It makes them look WHITER. Yeah, it's dumb... there's nothing wrong with "off white" marshmallows!! But that's why they use it...

I really did know that, but it's still totally illogical to me. The few brands of marshmallows which *don't* have blue dye in them look just as white, in my opinion.

I imagine they started doing it back when people still added bluing to laundry... which actually DOES make sense, it counters the yellowish tinge the whites can develop. But I don't want it in my food... my marshmallows aren't likely to turn yellow from hard water!! LOL!
