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.

If by any chance at all you needed yet another reason to love fall (and winter for that matter) is soup. Every year when we would come home for Christmas, my family would do a 'Soup Night'. Each family is to bring a pot of soup, preferably a different soup than someone else, label your bowl and dive in ladle after ladle. We absolutely love Soup Night because you have such a variety of soups to eat and it's so good and cozy!
This past Saturday we celebrated this quarter's family birthdays (yes we are now on a quarterly basis because there are so many of us.....9 kids + spouses and 30 grandkids), cheered on the Huskers as they played Ohio State and had a soup night.
Soup Nights are perfect for a little twist on a traditional pot-luck or even a small gathering of friends.
Here's what else was on the menu from Saturday....
Maryland Crab
Sweet Potato & Sausage
Chicken Tortilla
White Chicken Chili
Thai Mushroom
We also had lots of wine and cheese and antipasto platters with marinated artichokes, prosciutto, salami, mushrooms and olives (another one of my favs...although we were missing dolmades--stuffed grape leaves---huge weakness of mine). I wish I would have taken a picture of the antipasto platter, it was so pretty....much more pretty than our pathetic looking cheese platter we threw together :)
