Chocolate Fudge

My kids have craze for chocolate flavor. I happen to come across this recipe which could be done in 5 minutes.I tried this and my kids loved it.I have used walnuts to fill in the fudge ,you can use what ever nuts you want to.Walnuts are very tasty nuts and not so hard to munch.Walnuts are a good source of omega 3 too.
I prefer walnuts more than any other nuts in my fudge.

Semisweet chocolate chips- 12 ounces
Sweetened condensed milk - 14 ounce can
Walnuts - 11/2 cups ( broken in small pieces)

Mysore pak

This is one of my very first dessert that I learnt apart form the sweets learnt by my mom.
Have been doing this since past three years. Have been doing a lot of sweets during this Shravana maasa for all Fridays. Made with chickpea flour in one thread consistency of sugar syrup,it's a delicacy made for all weddings too.
As the name suggests it is one of the well known South Indian dessert. I have added 1/2 of ghee and 1/2 of oil,but adding completely ghee also gives this sweet a good taste and might make it a little heavy too.

Ingredients,
Chick pea flour( besan) - 1 cup
Ghee and oil - 1/2 cup each
Sugar - 1 1/2 cups (if you like not to be too sweet add only 1 cup of sugar)
Water - 1 3/4 cups

1. Take water and sugar in a pan and heat ,bring it to boil till you get 1 thread consistency.
2. Heat oil and ghee in a pot ,slowly add 2 tbsps of this to the chick pea flour.Turn off the heat.
3. Mix the flour well and sieve it to have no lumps.
4. Grease a pan with ghee .
5. Heat ghee and oil ,so that its hot when the sugar syrup is reached 1 thread consistency.
6. Add hot ghee, oil to the sugar syrup and slowly add the chick pea flour and mix well.
7. Keep stirring until the oil keeps coming out and the whole mixture starts coming together.
8. Pour this to the greased pan and spread it across with a spatula .
9. Wait for a minute and then cut this across ,when it is still warm with a knife.
10. Take out the pieces when it is cooled .

Heat sugar and water in pan and bring it to boil.

Heat oil and ghee.

Add 2 tbps of hot oil to Beasan /chick pea flour.

Mix it well.

Sieve the flour to remove any lumps.

Grease a pan to pour in the prepared Mysore pak.

Pour hot oil and Ghee to the sugar syrup of 

1 thread consistency.

Slowly add chickpea flour

Stir till the whole mixture starts forming a big lump.

Do not stir for a long time ,mysore pak might get harder.

Just enough when it starts to form a lump.

Pour into the greased pan.

Cut with a knife when its warm

Slowly remove the peices when its cool.
