Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure

Story

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is an animated fairy story about the adventures of Tinker Bell, who lives in pixie hollow. Tinker Bell (voice of Mai Whitman) is a tinker fairy. She makes, invents and fixes gadgets. Because she can be impatient, some of these gadgets have a habit of going wrong. Her impatience also means that she has a very quick temper.

One day she is given a very special task. She must make a sceptre that will hold a moonstone at just the right angle. When the moon next rises, it will shine through the moonstone. This will produce special blue pixie dust and keep the fairly tree alive for the next seven years. Tinker Bell feels very honoured because the other fairies know she is impatient and might not complete the task properly.

She has only a month to complete this task, and her friend Terence (Jesse McCartney) offers to help her. As time goes on, Tinker Bell becomes very impatient with him because he is always cleaning up after her and giving her advice on how to make the sceptre just right. They have a fight, and the moonstone gets broken.

Tinker Bell must journey to the island of the lost treasure where stolen treasure is buried. Here she can find the magic mirror and make a wish to get a new moonstone. Along the way, she learns the value of patience and friendship.

• One scene includes scary trolls. Although they end up hugging each other and saying sorry, they might scare some children.

We all know we're not supposed to eat cookie dough. Pesky salmonella. But what if there was a way to eat it safely? And in fudge form?

Uh-huh. You get where I'm going with this?

We're makin' cookie dough fudge. And it will taste exactly like cookie dough, except no raw eggs. I found this recipe in one of my favorite cookbooks, Sweet Confections.

You can pair it with my Nutella Fudge and have yourself an amazing homemade late-night snack gift for someone special.

This fudge is actually a brown sugar fudge called penuche. Some of you might be scared off by the need for a candy thermometer. Don't be. I use this deep-fry thermometer and it has never failed me.

Oil for the pan
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon corn syrup
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Oil an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. (I skipped this and lined with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides as "handles")

Bring the sugar, dark brown sugar, cream, milk, corn syrup, and salt to a boil over medium heat in a 3-quart saucepan. Boil to 242°F, stirring frequently.

Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and flour. (Try to get as many of those flour lumps out as you can.) Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan in a thin layer. Let cool to 110°F undisturbed, about 20 minutes. (My note: I did not measure temp but 20 minutes was way too long for me...the mixture was very hard to scrape out. 10 minutes worked like a charm. Use a spoon to scrape it right out of the pan.) Scrape the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.

Mix on medium speed with a paddle attachment until the fudge thickens and begins to hold its shape, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape into the prepared 8 x 8-inch baking pan, and spread evenly with an offset spatula. (I only have 9-inch pans, and I like my fudge a little thicker, so you can see I didn't use the whole pan.)

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top, then lightly press them into the fudge. Let cool and set, at least 2 hours. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes if the chocolate chips are still soft.

Cut into pieces of desired size, and store in an airtight container. Fudge is even better on day two!

Makes 36-50 pieces of fudge.
