Baby-Making!

Fudge Baby-making, that is.

.

The Original Babies

It all began with some walnuts, dates, a little cocoa powder…

(Above, the original Fudge Babies)

At first, the fudgies enjoyed a quiet nursery all to themselves.  But it wasn’t long before many screaming brothers and sisters started popping out.  Nowadays, the nursery is quite crowded (not to mention loud).

The Cousins are Coming!

I’m not the only one making babies these days; the Fudge Babies are acquiring more and more cousins by the second.

If you’d like for your babies to be featured, send your recipes, photos, or blog-post links to chocolatecoveredkatie@msn.com and I’ll clear a space for them in the nursery! Happy baby-making ;) .

    Hey Katie! I was curious how well these guys travel… I am putting together a care package for a friend and want to know if some delicious babies would do well being shipped. Thank you!

      question, how much mint do you use?

        Hi Jenna,
        Amanda probably won’t check back here, since she wrote her comment back in January. But I’d definitely start out with just a couple of drops. Mint extract is so strong!! I’m interested to know, too, though. So if you make them, let me know how much you used and how they turned out :) .

    Hey Katie,
    Love these fudge babies! I adapted the recipe a bit and have posted it on my site. Thanks so much for these wonderful ideas. Best wishes!

    Hi Katie! I don’t have a blog to link to, but I am in love with your ‘babies’ and tried making up my own version. Here it is:

    1 cup almonds – roasted
    1/2-3/4 cup dates (I need a scale, but in the meantime it was tightly packed and roughly between 1/2 and 3/4 cup)
    1/2-3/4 cup coconut milk (approximately equal amount as dates)
    1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (I used an organic reduced fat type)
    2 T cocoa

    I soaked the dates in the coconut milk overnight. Toast raw almonds in oven. Grind almonds in food processor, add soaked dates including coconut milk, and process until ‘baby’ texture. I split the dough into 1/2 and added the cocoa to one half for a chocolate version. These turned out delicious!
    Thanks for these great ideas – these have been fun to make and eat and are also a great snack for my kids.
    Happy Valentines Day!

    Ha!!! You totally got me with “baby-making!” Those look almost as good as the real thing. :-)

    I sometimes mix baby-food into greek yogurt to flavor it (nothing nasty; think squash puree or blueberries), but I find a little bit of humor in shopping the baby-food isle. Aint no shame in baby makin girl!
