I&#8217;ve been making <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annbarlow.com\/index.html?cm_id=667\">Rocky Road Fudge<\/a> for the past several years.  (It is great, by the way, you should totally try it.)  And before that, there were the years that I made toffee.  The year of cheese straws  was memorable, too.  Me and cheese straws go way back.
