Marci, You can freeze fudge. Here is some information on it. Ann

I love them all...but I will say that I made the White Chocolate Fudge for the first time this past week...and I love that one the most..the white chocolate makes it like velvet. I used 8 oz of Ghiradelli White chips. I even "screwed" it up..LOL I forgot the cream and had the butter and sugars going at it and it went to temp like zip..but then I was like.."what's wrong with this?"..LOL oh DOH cream..so poured it in and put it back on the heat and brought it up to proper temp.. Then stirred in chips and vanilla..arm falling off after cool down...but got it done.. I sold it at a bake sale and people were SHOCKED when I said it was "old fashioned" marshmallow fluffless fudge.

I think I should have been more clear on this: "aparently when they are harvested small they have a much lower carb content then fully mature potatoes." this is not because they are smaller but weight for weight baby potatoes are lower in carbs than the same weight of mature potatoes. The way this was explained to me is that mature potatoes are harvested after the plant dies down, and it's during this die down phase that the plant stores carbs in the tuber (potatoe) so when they are harvested young well before they reach that stage they don't have the same % of carbs per weight. My dietician who specialises in diabetes told me if you eat potatoes, always choose the baby potatoes instead. hope that makes more sense
