    Hi Hamm family.
    Try the Fantasy Fudge recipe on the back of the Kraft jet puffed marshmallow cream. Easy! Better the most other fudge.

    What a wonderful video. It is such a joy to watch your father with all the kids. Teaching them, helping them make their visions come to life and then the smiles from Violet as he holds her. I’m not sure who is going to go through with drawl more when they go back home the kids or the grandparents. Thank you for sharing your family with us ❤

    I enjoy watching those family projects you have going. Your freeze dryer is amazing and very useful for preserving food. Grandpa sure looks like he's having fun helping out the boys with the snowboard ramp. Grandparents are such a joy to watch and they do come in handy when an extra hand is needed so you can get other things done. Thanks for this video I enjoyed seeing what your family is up to these days. It's never a dull moment when Lauren gets behind the camera and captures family life.

    I make a real easy fudge with peanut butter and frosting. 16 oz jar of peanut butter, put in microwave for 1 minute . Then put the frosting in the microwave for 1 minute. Then mix peanut butter and frosting together. Put mixture in a parchment paper lined 9x9 pan. Set in refrigerator till hard. Take out of pan and cut into pieces. Enjoy

    Tip to eliminate the “tears” when dealing with onions…Drench a paper towel with water, bunch it loosely, and just lay it on the counter/cutting board right where you’re chopping. Apparently the onion fumes are attracted to the nearest form of water, which is usually your eyes. With the paper towel method, the fumes go to the towel. It does work!!

    LI Loved today's show it had a bit of everything in it. I Love to see how busy the boys stay. How does the freeze drier affect your hydro bill? I Love cilantro, and my daughter can't stand the smell of it. Does Bennett want to be a chef or a baker when he grows up? I love the gmbig smiles Violet has for everybody. Thank you so much for sharing, Lauren. Hugs and Love from Manitoba.

    Hi Lauren, always enjoy your videos! This is just a little advice to your son the candy maker, weather can make a difference. In my experience you want to make your fudge on a dry sunny day. I would have your son research making fudge and the weather.

    Google the recipe for "Fantasy Fudge"! It is much easier & turns out great. What a little chef you have! Seeing your Mom & Dad with the kids always makes me happy. What great memories for all & such fantastic lessons taught by Mark & Grandpa. Miss Violet is such a baby doll & you can tell ypur Mom loves every minute. Thanks for another fun, educational, and enjoyable vlog! ❤ Much love from Indiana

    The boys and grandpa built a really cool ramp and i'm sure they will have fun with that in a couple of months !! I wish i could gift my parents a freeze dryer but it is too expensive at the moment. You've shown some cool options with how it can be used. Nice that the boys could bowl and that Miss Violet was there too cheer her brothers on !! Cool Summer collage art work !! ❤

    Loved seeing your dad working with the boys and holding Violet. So sweet. Good job on the fudge Bennett. My mom would make fudge for us when I was a young girl. It never hardened up so we always had to eat it with a spoon. It still tasted so yummy though. I am 68yo and mom is 87. We still talk about it at times. Thanks for bringing up wonderful memories of my childhood

      @kristietaylor719 19 дней назад

      A relatively simple fudge recipe can be found on the side of a sweetened condensed milk or a can of evaporated milk... don't remember which or if both, the Carnation brand. You might be able to Google the recipe. A recipe requiring cooking on the stove can be tricky. Be sure to use a candy thermometer, it will help a lot. As a first time, not too bad since the taste is good so just cut it up and eat it like a Tootsie roll. Trust me, if my Grandma and Mom hadn't been teaching me from a very young age, around four or five, I would not have done well either. Good luck for next time.

    a really easy cheater fudge that you can change the flavors is 2 ingredients.... 1 pkg of chocolate chips (or any flavor?) and 1 tub of cake frosting (start with chocolate and experiment from there). Melt in microwave together. Put in pan. Done. It doesn't exactly teach a new cooking skill other than easy is really really nummy too!

    Bennett, please try the Eagle brand Sweet Condensed milk fudge recipe, it’s easy, delicious. It’s semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, salt, opt. Nuts, using the microwave and refrigerator. Key is not over melting the chocolate in the microwave. Do small amounts of time, check & stir, until melted. Putting fudge on parchment.

    Lauren you remind me so very much of my Aunt when she was your age. I'm 62 and she was like 8 years younger than me and though I only got to see her only a few times she made a big impression in my life. Sadly I've lost contact with her. She lived in Fairbanks for many years along with my grandmother and other family member. I got to go two times and loved it both times. Very very beautiful place to see.

    Making old fashioned Fudge is so tricky! I’ve been making it for over 35 years and I still on occasion have a fail. I have learned it just cannot be made on a humid day, even in an air conditioned house. It always turns into a grainy mess, or never hardens at all. Still tastes good so if that happens I remelt the batch over low heat, stirring constantly, adding water or milk, and turn it into a sauce for pouring over ice cream. Hopefully next time it comes out perfect!

    Hi! I think Miss Violet resembles Everett so much, especially through the eyes. I so enjoy your channel. Prayers and best wishes. lol I collect items about my favorite animal the orca.. I wish my area in NY could get your 9 grain bread. Everytime it seems to catch my eye. 😊

    A marble rolling pin is great for making fudge and pastry. You can pop it in the fridge before you start.
