S’mores Fudge

This is SOOOO good- and low in fat! It’s rich, so a just a few pieces are satisfying. It’s a great gift, or take it to a potluck.

1-1/3 c. semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 c. fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1-1/3 c. miniature marshmallows
2 whole graham crackers, broken into bite-sized pieces

Line an 8-inch square pan with foil and coat with cooking spray; set aside. In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth. (I’ve also done the melting in a bowl in the microwave.) Remove from heat and cool 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Fold in marshmallows and graham crackers. Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Lift out of pan and remove foil; cut into small chunks.

Summer Salsa with Sweet Tortilla Chips

This recipe is so much fun- salsa and chips, except the salsa is sweet summer fruit and the chips are cinnamon & sugar dusted. Mmmm- great for a snack, a dessert, or to take to a gathering.

Chips

4 (8″) flour tortillas
1 tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Salsa

1 lime
1 tbsp. sugar
1 large ripe peach, unpeeled and chopped
1 large ripe red or purple plum, unpeeled and chopped
1 large ripe apricot, unpeeled and chopped
1/2 c. dark sweet cherries, stems removed, pitted, and chopped
1/2 c. seedless green grapes, chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush tortillas with butter. In cup, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle one side of each tortilla with cinnamon-sugar. Stack tortillas and cut into 6 wedges, making 24 wedges in total. Arrange wedges, sugar side up, in single layer on 2 large cookie sheets. Place cookie sheets on 2 oven racks and bake chips 10-12 minutes or until golden, rotating cookie sheets between upper and lower racks halfway through baking. Cool chips on cookie sheets on wire racks. Store chips in tightly covered container.

Just before serving, prepare salsa. From lime, grate 1/4 tsp. peel and squeeze 1 tbsp. juice. In medium bowl, stir lime peel, lime juice, sugar, and chopped fruit until combined. Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
