Okay, so if you love fudge bars then you need to stop what you’re doing and mix these simple homemade fudge bars up right now! We love all the fun and festive frozen treats in the summer and I was eager to try and make our own fudge bars where I could control the ingredients and just try something different. I didn’t think fudge bars would be too difficult and my original thought was to just freeze chocolate milk, but I didn’t want it to be icy milk. Does that make sense?
After looking at a few different recipes I chose to mix up two of our favorites chocolatey ingredients: fairlife chocolate milk and chocolate hazelnut spread. Mindblowing! Why has it taken us this long to put these two together?!?! First off if you haven’t had the Fairlife chocolate milk I really think you’re missing out. It’s absolutely delicious and to pair it with the hazelnut spread is just dynamite.
Chocolate Hazelnut Frozen Fudge Bars
*makes 6 frozen bars*
1-1/2 cups chocolate milk
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
In a bowl whisk together chocolate hazelnut spread and chocolate milk until combine. Pour into popsicle mold. Freeze overnight. Remove and enjoy.
This post is not at all sponsored, just me sharing something we love and use.
In early March we had plans to host our friends and our guest room really needed some love. We hadn’t done anything to this space since building our home six years ago. It was a blank slate, a very boring, plain, blank slate and it was perfect for a little makeover.
We wanted to try to use things we already had on hand and keep this makeover on a minimum budget of $500. We felt it was doable based on what we had and what we wanted to do. We already had the bed, linens, curtains and leftover paint in the garage. We built our design around those things and then went straight to work.
Our home is a craftsman style and our interior has some modern farmhouse touches so we decided to add some texture and dimension to the walls by adding board and batten using 1x3 boards. This was fairly simple for us since we installed this same thing in both our entryway and dining room a few years ago.
Instead of purchasing two full size bedside tables, we built two and attached them to the wall using a stair tread and two corbels for each side. We also swapped out the light for a ceiling fan to help keep guests comfortable and lastly, added some adorable wooden pegs near the door.
For decor we shopped the house again and pulled the vintage floral print I found from a local antique shop a couple tears ago. I love having a diffuser for our guests as well especially if they’re not familiar with essential oils because this gives them an opportunity to try them. I think it’s also important to have extra blankets and throws just in case it’s a little chilly.
Hopefully we can host friends or family in this space soon, but until then it’s being used a nice little quiet getaway for us!
