PAULA DEEN'S 5 MINUTE FUDGE
Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced and softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
Place sugar and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan; pour in milk and stir until blended. Set heat to medium-high and stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and place a candy thermometer in the pan. Let the mixture simmer without stirring until the temperature reaches 238 degrees F (114 degrees C) when measured with a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. If you don't have a candy thermometer, drop a small amount of the mixture into cold water; if it forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface, it's ready.
Remove from the heat. Allow to cool to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), 50 to 70 minutes. Do not disturb fudge as it's cooling.
Add butter and vanilla to the fudge. Beat with a wooden spoon until well incorporated and fudge loses its sheen; do not under beat.
Pour fudge into prepared pan and press to flatten. Let cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator before cutting into 1-inch squares.

MEXICAN WEDDING COOKIES
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter , softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped Pecans (I just used Pecan cookie chips so I didn’t have to do any chopping, just poured them in right from the bag).
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar , for coating
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix butter on medium speed until creamy, about 20 seconds. Blend in 1/2 cup powdered sugar and salt. Mix in vanilla.
Sprinkle cornstarch over mixture (just so it doesn’t blend into one area) then with mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour and mix just until combined. Stir in Pecans.
Scoop dough out 1 Tbsp at a time and roll into a ball, then place balls on ungreased baking sheets and bake in preheated oven for 13 – 15 minutes, until bottom edges are lightly golden (for anyone having problems with spreading, just chill the dough balls for 1 hour then transfer to baking sheet and bake and that should help).
These are a cookie that I think are best when they aren’t moist in the center so I’d say don’t under bake them. These actually are a cookie that are meant to be dry. Dry but a melt in your mouth kind of dry.
Remove from oven and allow to cool several minutes then while cookies are still warm, pour 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar into a bowl and roll cookies in powdered sugar.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then once cookies are cool, roll in powdered sugar once more, this time generously coating them (I pressed it into the powdered sugar to give it a thick coating). Store cookies in an airtight container

A peak inside the hive. Given the wind at the time of installation, I left the hive with 4 frames and placed the box the bees came in inside the hive.
