Family recipe

My mom gave me this recipe book as a bridal shower gift, almost twelve years ago.

Inside she wrote down all our family favorite recipes...including this one for fudge frosting. I love reading a recipe written in my very own Mom's handwriting! Maybe someday I'll write down these recipes for my son's new bride! But that's quite a long way away...thankfully!

I had all the ingredients with the exception of vanilla so I substituted almond extract instead (using half as much called for in the recipe as almond extract can be quite potent- a little goes a long way.)
