Best Recipe Contest

February's winner is: Easy no fail Fudge


1 large jar marshmallow creme (I don’t remember the size but they come in two sizes, get the large one)
1 32 oz bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups salted sweet butter or cannabutter
Chopped walnuts and mini marshmallows optional

Melt butter, chips, Eagle brand and creme together. Take off burner and gently stir in nuts and marshmallows and pour into a 9x12 pan lined with aluminum foil (you can oil the top of foil with some butter if you wish). Let completely cool before cutting up. I swear this fudge is the bomb.

Testimonial Of The Month
Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players

Hello.

I found out about this site from the TRAX website, as a site where you could play TRAX. I joined in August, 2003.
I came in first place in the 2009 Olympics, and second place in the 2018 Summer Olympics. I was the first winner
of the Overall Competition club contest. The Overall Competition suited my strengths of though not being the best
at many games, still being good at many of them.

Currently I have been really enjoying GoldFences, the senet games, and the diagonal duel games. They are lighter
games that still have room for some strategy.

Sincerely,
Jim

They play a variety of games. Both wiki and a wikiless are offered, and there are also prizes for the winners. It's a very friendly home style club. No frustration and no drama.

The Club Motto:

Home is where the heart is,
where love should be all the time,
Respect and kindness, and peace and joy,

It's where in times of illness,
concern comes from the heart,
And little acts of goodness,
will always be a part.

FRIENDS Like You...Always Have a Home in Our Hearts!!!

Give Nancy a shout out for more information on this home style club.
