"FUDGE" my life!!

Ok, so here I am in the kitchen again with all of my ingredients. My pot is ready to melt some chocolate, add the ingredients and add it to my square foil pan to "set". I am already wildly imagining the finshed product! So after carefully melting the chocolate and adding my moist, chewy raisins and crunchy peanuts I poured the mixture into my 8 X 8 pan. What the...?! What did I miss? Instead of the pan filling with a river of chocolatey, nutty goodness my "puddle" barely even touched the sides...clearly I did not melt enough chocolate! Oh no, to make matters worse, I forgot to add the required sugar! And now, it is too late to do anything about it! I am devastated. My beautiful fudge is nothing more than an amoeba-shaped candy bar. Without the sugar, no chewy silkiness for Mrs. Sholinsky to sink her teeth into. Without enough chocolate, no cutting to do as my "bar" is the size of a cereal bowl. Sucking up my failure "like a man", I wrap this mess of a candy in wax paper, then some pretty wrapping paper. I brought it to school and presented it to my teacher. She was so appreciated and better yet, took a bite and MMMMM! She loved it! Well, maybe she was just trying to not hurt my feelings. In any case, on that day I made the decision to keep my butt OUT of the kitchen. Period.
