Oh, Fudge!

Ann Smith of Oh, Fudge! Is so busy that even reading about all she does exhausts me!

Besides working in the mornings in the kitchen of a near by school, her other part time job as a research assistant, and making her wonderful soaps and lotions, which she sells on her Etsy shop, Woodwize Body Solutions, Ann started selling her homemade fudge last year on ebay. (You can find her fudge in her Etsy shop).

Ann is a one woman show, making, packaging, and marketing her fudge, although sometimes she will recruit the help of one of her kids if she runs into a pinch with her many orders.

“All my fudge is made on the stove top and is hand stirred in small batches. Although my batches are starting to get bigger!” explains Ann, “My best selling fudges are white chocolate and old fashioned chocolate. I also sell a lot of penuche. I started making Scottish Tablet and that is also doing quite well”.

Ann takes a lot of pride and care when making her fudge. She has great tasting recipes and is constantly adding new flavors, she is now up to about 15 different varieties!

Ann started out by making penuche at home for her family. Her kids thought it was so good that they suggested that she sell it on ebay, and they were right! She has always loved penuche fudge and she fondly remembers her grandma making it when she was a child. “It was always a treat when she would make it, and it has remained my favorite type of fudge” reminiscences Ann, ” I came across a recipe for penuche that used cream instead of milk and it just seemed like it would be good. It was the best!!”

Ann has also participated in craft shows for about 7 years. She loves interacting with her customers. “It is very rewarding to hear comments from people about how great my soap smells and how good my fudge is. I give out samples of fudge and love to hear that m-m-m-m! It gives me encouragement that I have quality products that people want and are willing to pay for that ‘quality'”.

Feedback on her online sites is always really good. So, I guess the proof is in the pudding â€“ or rather, the fudge.

A quick, creamy breakfast with fresh fruit added on top

Smoothie bowls are one of those beautiful breakfasts that feel healthy and a little indulgent at the same time. Thick, cold, creamy, and pretty enough that you almost don’t want to eat them… almost.

The Ninja Slushie Maker takes all the effort out of it.
Instead of dealing with frozen fruit bricks or blenders that complain loudly, you simply mix your yoghurt base, chill it, and let the Ninja turn it into the perfect thick smoothie-bowl texture — no ice required.

If you are like me and come addicted to these smoothie bowls then you will want to invest in these double walled bowls, this is my favorite brand and these have been great.

Then you top it with your fresh fruit afterwards so the bowl stays thick, cold, and spoon-worthy.

It’s easy, quick, and a lovely way to start the day.

Why Yoghurt Works So Well in the Ninja Slushie Maker

Yoghurt freezes into a silky, firm slush — similar to soft-serve but healthier and lighter. Because the machine creates the icy texture itself (instead of relying on ice cubes), the mixture never becomes watery or gritty.

Just smooth, cold, creamy perfection you can decorate to your heart’s content.

The Basic Yoghurt Slush Base

Once you learn this base recipe, you can create endless flavour combinations.

Ingredients

2 cups plain or Greek yoghurt, chilled
½–1 cup milk of your choice (just enough to loosen the mixture)
1–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Method

Stir all ingredients together until smooth.
Chill the mixture in the fridge until very cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into the Ninja Slushie Maker.
Blend on the slush setting until thick, creamy, and icy.
Spoon into a bowl and add your fruit and toppings.

This base has enough body to hold granola, berries, and nut butter without sinking.

Topping Ideas (Add These After Blending)

Fresh Fruit

Strawberries
Blueberries
Banana slices
Mango
Kiwi
Peaches

Crunchy Toppers

Granola
Toasted coconut
Chopped nuts

Easy Flavour Variations

Tropical Coconut Bowl

Add a splash of coconut milk to the base. Top with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and toasted coconut flakes.

Chocolate Yoghurt Bowl

Mix 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder into the base. Top with banana slices and a peanut-butter drizzle.

Meal-Prep Tip

Prepare the yoghurt base the night before and store it in small jars.
In the morning, just pour one jar directly into the Ninja Slushie Maker and you’ve got a thick, cold, ready-to-top breakfast in minutes.
