My sister and I were in the grocery store the other day when the checkout lady asked us what we intended to make. "Magic cookies", we politely replied.  This, of course, caused the clerk to share her story about how she had just made her first batch of fudge last night.  We, in turn, politely asked how it turned out. "Good", she responded.  "There is still some in that there coke cooler behind you.  Go on, try a little." We quickly shot each other a horrified look.....stranger fudge.  I could almost taste the dog hair and cat pee.
"No thanks, we are still full from dinner," we replied. 
"Go on, try a little, I didn't poison it or nothin."
"no thanks."
"Go on, reach in there and git ya a piece.  It musta been good, everyone else ate it up"
Great, now we were dealing with stranger fudge felt up by a number of other strangers reaching for stranger fudge around the final stranger fudge piece that we were supposed to EAT and since she hadn't poisoned it or nothin and we were obviously not diabetic or allergic to nuts as our magic cookie ingredients had given us away, we had no other option.....so....... we ate the stranger fudge.  No magic cookie is worth that.  Now, here is a recipe for that cookie.  It's pretty tasty once you pick the ferret whisker out of your teeth.

1/2 cup of butter, melt and put in the bottem of a 12x7 dish.

Layer the following ingredients in order...

1/2 cups ( 18sq of graham crackers crushed)

1 cup chopped nuts

1 cup chocolate chips

1 1/3 cups of coconut

1 15oz can condensed milk

Bake  350 15-20 minutes ( light brown on top)

( You can also add butterscotch chips with the chocolate chips for a twist )

Ewww...stranger fudge. I have similar issues. I also hate anything "serve yourself".

haha -- well if that invitation to try her fudge wasn't heart warming, I don't know what is.

Next time just act crazy. Or pick a fight with your sister and scream something about her sleeping with your husband. That might get nasty strangers to leave you and your tastebuds alone.

haha, Ali great idea! I will have to bank that in the back of my brain! Not even a week later we ran into her again and like an idiot I asked her if she had done anymore baking, I heard the words come out of my mouth and at the same time was thinking NOOOO SHELLY SHUT UP!
THANK GOD she had no samples with her!

You know, I was with Shelly when she asked the cashier if she had done anymore baking, and right as the words flew out of her mouth I began to think up excuses for not eating ANYTHING that came out of what I can only hope was a kitchen and not an electric burner in a hotel bathroom. Ahhh, I believe a fine prison wine would accompany the stranger fudge nicely.
