Chocolate Candy Recipes & Father's Day Ideas - Give Me Your Creativity!!

Very easy and very good peanut butter fudge

1 bag white chocolate chips
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/3 cup peanut butter (use good kind like Jiff)
Pam cooking spray

Line a 9x9 pyrex with aluminum foil and spray with Pam. In a separate bowl, melt bag of white chips and 1 cup of peanut butter in the microwave, stir every 30-45 seconds to prevent burning. Pour into the pyrex. Melt the bag of chocolate chips with 1/3 cup of peanut butter, stirring every 30-45 seconds (you can use the same bowl). Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture in the pyrex. Put in fridge for a few hours to harden. Cut and serve. You can leave these out, and they won't melt, or store in fridge.

Since we have 4 sets of grandparents.... Calendars of my daughter's year are what they get for mother's and father's day. So each month has pictures from her in that month the year before. They can see how she changed each month and how much she has grown this year compared to last. I also send a card with her hand print. :)

Hi!

OK, my first thought for all of them is PHOTOS, PHOTOS, PHOTOS!!! My mom always says she does not want anything because she has everything. Photos are what she loves. I had a calendar made for her through Costco's photo department on-line. It was wonderful and very inexpensive! I had a photo mug done for my dad and step-father through Costco as well. It was inexpensive. The great thing was they did not look inexpensive.

Here is a quick and easy chocolate candy recipe:
