Alistaire picked out The Minecrafter’s Cookbook (An Unofficial Cookbook) at the library because what kid doesn’t love Minecraft? He went through the book and picked out a couple of recipes to cook for culinary purposes. The book was published in 2018, so is six years old, but still relevant for fans of the game. It has lots of choices, and many full color photos of the food.
The dessert he loved was the Dirt Block Fudge, on pages 62-63. It’s a very easy recipe with just three ingredients. Even young children can do this recipe with an adult’s assistance. And they will enjoy it! It’s sugar. What’s not to love about that when young?
You can swap out the chocolate chips for what you like: butterscotch, mint, dark chocolate, white, and even use different flavoring extracts for a wide range of easy fudge.
