Turnin' on the Lite - mrtl style

I've been totally slacking here. The beef recipe (mom's crab soup) never got posted. I think she made off with it, because I can't find it anywhere. Sorry!

Let me make it up to you. Make something lite for dinner, then balance it out with this:

Bailey's Irish Cream Fudge

Ingredients:
4½ cups sugar

1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
½ lb. butter
2 pkgs. (12 oz. each) milk chocolate chips
1 pkg. (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 jars (7 oz. each) marshmallow cream
2 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
2 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Method:

In a large bowl, add chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, vanilla, Bailey's Irish Cream and nuts. Set aside.

Heat butter, sugar and milk to a boil, reduce heat and cook slowly for 11 minutes, stirring constantly.

Pour milk mixture over the ingredients in bowl and stir slowly to blend. DO NOT USE A MIXER.

Pour fudge into a buttered 9x13-inch pan and chill. When fudge is cold, cut into uniform pieces. (Fudge will stay soft, and not completely harden.) (I've put them in those little cake/bread tins sprayed with Pam, and it's come out fine. Also, lining the 9x13 with foil and spraying works fine, too.)

Makes approximately 5 pounds.

uhhh... how is this Lite? LOL ???

I guess I thought lite meant low fat or low calorie or something. Hmmm. I'm confused. ;)
