Best of Bridge Cookbook Review: Fudge Drops

Today I am excited to be reviewing another cookbook for you guys. This one is called Best of Bridge: Home Cooking. I am also excited to share a tasty recipe from the cookbook for fudge drops. These fudge drops are a super yummy dessert that are small but filled with flavor!

Here are the cookbook review questions:

1. How easy are the recipes to follow? Yes, I didn't care for the font of the recipes (is that a weird complaint?) but besides that the recipes were easy to understand.
2. Is the cookbook worth the investment? You get 250 recipes for $29.95, which I think is a pretty good deal.
3. Are the pictures amazing? They are good! Just take a look at those fudge drops.
4. Would I recommend it? Yes! If you are looking for recipes that are easy and traditional, this is the book for you.

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name."

- Psalm 100:4 (NIV)
