Nice "seeing" you again as well. Jayme and I have the fudge recipe (appeared on the show once). We normally make about 5-7 batches this time of year.

Jim,
Thanks for the fudge recipe. I'm not familiar with "King syrup" but maybe I've lead a sheltered life. What is it?

I believe it is a north east thing. It's a brand of corn syrup.

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
(courtesy of allrecipes.com with some modifications)
I often double the recipe, which, depending on how big you make the cookies, gets you 6-7 dozen soft nummy fall-tasting cookies. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Combine pumpkin, sugars, canola oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda into the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.

2. Add vanilla and chocolate chips.

3. Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheets and bake at 350F (175C) for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.

Enjoy!

I make something like this only instead of chocolate chips, I use butterscotch chips!! These cookies also freeze very well with parchment paper in between the layers.

Buckeyes

1 stick of butter softened
2 cups of peanut butter
2 1/2 cups of powered sugar
3 cups of rice krispies
Mix all together, then roll into balls. Then dip into chocolate. Refrigerate until chocolate is hardened.
These are really easy and they go fast. Very sweet and rich!

Or those little hard candies they sell at Joann's for cookie decorating? I think Wilton makes them??
