Easy Microwave Fudge Recipe
He is a little gruff on the outside. With long time military background and a strict English Teacher mentality, you’d never suspect that my Father-in-Law has a warm and fuzzy center. My Father-In-Law and I have a different kind of relationship. We don’t hug. We don’t say the words “I love you.”
But over the 13 years I have gotten to know him, I’ve learned that he expresses love in a very different way…through FOOD. To share a coke with him is my simple way to say how much I care about him and what he means to our family.
My Father-in-Law will go out of the way to bring me some of my favorite food items; a warm and fresh doughnut, kosher bologna sandwich sliced thin on rye, a cannoli that has been freshly filled. I love bringing him some of his favorite treats too. Warm chocolate chip cookies, homemade fudge and an icy cold Coke are at the top of his “I love you” list.
So when I heard about the new Share It Forward with a Coke promotion, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to say how much he means to me in a very unique way. I headed to my nearest Walmart to pick up the new personalized 20 oz. Coke Bottles. Do you see your loved one’s name? What a great way to share a personalized love note for your family, friends, maybe even surprise a local hero! I thought the “Family” one was a perfect reflection of our relationship. I couldn’t wait to pick up an icy cold personalized Coke for him!
And no icy cold Coke is complete with his favorite homemade fudge! I was so inspired by the new Share It Forward with a Coke this summer, that I made this Easy Microwave Fudge Recipe topped with a Caramel Coke Drizzle! Check out how to make this fantastic recipe:

He’s a little bit gruff, but I know that he loves me. And I take every opportunity to show how much I love him. Our relationship can be seen as a bit odd…but sharing a Coke with him is a perfect way to say that “I Love You.” Share It Forward with a Coke this summer and tell someone else how much they mean to you!

At first I thought the names on Coke thing was just part of a commercial, like a metaphor for what Coke meant, but then I realized it’s real! I think that’s so cool, need to look for my name. 🙂
