I made these out of salt dough and I'm planning on giving them to my Dad. The recipe I used uses 10 tbsp. Of salt and 10 of flour as a base, with 1tsp. Of oil and about 6 oz. Of water. Keep adding equal parts salt and flour until you get the right consistency for rolling and cutting out the dough. I traced my child's hand on paper, then cut it with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or so. You can paint the dough afterwards, but I decided to leave it as is. I also tried to use food coloring on the dough before baking and that also worked well.

Salt Dough Bookmark
We made these for favors, but you can make almost anything out of salt dough. I'm planning on making something to decorate my Christmas presents.
Fudge
I am awful at making fudge, but found this wonderful--may I add foolproof?--recipe at Cooking for Engineers (http://www.cookingforengineers.com/):
In a double boiler, melt 3 cups of chocolate chips (do measure, you need more than 1 small package. You also may combine the flavors of your choice), 4 tablespoons of butter, and one can of condensed milk. Let melt and combine until the texture is creamy and shiny. Pour onto greased Pyrex and chill in the refrigerator. Yum!
