1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1/3 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa
4 Cups Powdered Sugar
OPTIONAL: 1 Cup Mini Marshmallows or ½ Cup Chopped Peanuts or Walnuts or ½ Cup Dried Fruit like Cranberries or Raisins or a combination to sit your tastes.
Soften the cream cheese to room temperature. You can do this by microwaving it for 30 seconds or by letting it stand at room temperature for about an hour. Unwrap it and put it into your mixing bowl before you let it soften.
Add your oil and vanilla to the soften cream cheese. Beat with a spoon until smooth. Stir in the cocoa and powdered sugar. It takes diligent stirring to get the fudge properly mixed together. If you arm gets tired them enlist the cooperation of a friend. The mixture will be smooth, very think and evenly colored when done.
If desired you may add any extra goodies at this point. They are nice for variety but are not necessary. Work the goodies into the mixture until everything is smooth and even again.
Oil an 8-inch square pan or a large plate. Press the fudge into the pan or make a pretty layer of it on the plate. Chill for several hours to harden. Cut into small squares and serve. This is good enough to be a gift to someone you are trying to be good too. It’s cheap as gifts go too, which is always nice, plus it has the status of being homemade. Cut 6 by 6. Makes 36 pieces.

Brat in Beer
½ Cup Corn Oil
1 Cup Honey
1 Large Egg
½ Cup Yogurt
½ Cup Orange Juice
The Grated Rind of One Orange
½ Teaspoon Pure Almond Extract
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Salt
Begin by measuring the oil into a big bowl. Use the same measuring cup to measure in the honey. The oil in the measure will keep the honey from sticking to it. Add the egg and yogurt. Mix well to emulsify the batter. Grate the zest of an orange into the batter. Only use the orange part, not the white part. The white part is called the pith, and it is somewhat bitter. The orange part or the peel, or the zest, is what gives the cakes its trademark flavor. After zesting the orange, cut the orange in half and squeeze its juice up to the ½ cup mark. Stir the orange juice, orange zest or rind, and almond extract into the honey mixture. Beat well. Measure in the whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt. Beat the mixture smooth. Turn it into a well oiled 9 inch square or round pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cake pulls from the edges of the pan and top springs back when touched lightly. Frost if desired. Cut into 12 or 16 pieces and serve.
