FUDGE MUFFINS

4 squares semi-sweet chocolate

2 sticks butter

1 ¾ cups sugar

dash salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 ½ to 2 cups pecans

Melt chocolate and butter. Place sugar, salt, and flour in a mixing bowl. Stir in eggs one at a time. Add chocolate mixture. Stir well. Add pecans and vanilla.

I have found that if I let this mixture stand for about 15 minutes, then I have no trouble loading it into paper-lined muffin tins.

Bake at 325 fro 20 to 25 minutes.

Yields 18 muffins.

BLACK-EYED PEA DIP

1 medium onion, chopped

2 T. butter

1 (15 oz) can black-eyed peas, rinsed & drained

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained & chopped

2 T. Parmesan cheese

½ cup sour cream

½ cup mayonnaise

1 package dry ranch-dressing mix

4 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated

Sauté onion in butter. Mix in all other ingredients except mozzarella. Pour into a greased casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes at 350. Top with mozzarella and return to oven to bake until cheese melts.
