The weekly treats are over at work now, thank GOD because seriously, I am bursting out of my clothes over here.
In addition to the churro brownies that I made (and you should too!) I also made fudge and cheese dip, but not served together.
My dad gave me a handful of my mom's recipe a while back; some are familiar and some aren't, and her fudge recipe is definitely one I don't remember.
There's no notes or details on the page so I don't know the origin but I figured it would be a good work treat - easy to prepare and transport, so I went for it.
And here's the only photo I took - cut up and in a storage container. Nothing but class over here.
5 Minute Fudge
2 TB butter
1 small can evaporated milk (2/3 cup)
1 2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Combine first 4 ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Stir vigorously for 1 minute, until everything is melted. Pour into buttered 8" pan. Cool and cut into squares.

The next time it was my turn I was ready for a savory treat.
I found this garlic cheese dip in my binder and it spoke to me. Loudly.
In my effort to have photos in my posts, here's my kids in some trees.
And here's the link to the dip - roasted garlic whipped feta
I served a dollop with some carrot sticks and crackers. You could also use it in sandwiches, on toast, with eggs, or eaten directly off a spoon.
