Gifts to me can become gifts to my loved ones with a little time and effort

I still don't have this down right. Timing is killer. I boiled too long and the end result was the fudge seizing up as I was pouring it out of the pan.

In a heavy saucepan or cast iron skillet, mix these ingredients

• 2 oz unsweetened choco
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/3 C Karo white corn syrup
• 1/2 C milk

Bring to boil and about 236 degrees. Let it cool for a bit, then add ...

• 1 t vanilla
• 2 T butter
• 1 C chopped nuts

Pour into a buttered pan. I think it would be better to pour into a parchment-paper lined dish.

What a neat little treat. It doesn't have to be sweet. Here I am filling the pies with apples. I have also filled them with cherries. You could fill them up with a stew or other savory dishes.

When it comes to cooking the pies, you have a couple different options: bake, fry or deep fry. Here I oven baked them and pan fried with a little butter. I liked the baked option. It was easier to cook and it was oily. I might try to pan fry them again someday.
