I put them in a skillet, added a couple of leftover cooked chicken breasts that I had diced, plus a can of drained chopped mushrooms. I added a little water and cooked till it was heated through. Boy, was that good!”<img src="http://feeds.tasteofhome.com/~r/taste-of-home/tip-of-the-day/~4/288450986" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 12 May 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.tasteofhome.com/Tip-Of-The-Day/2008/05/12 http://www.tasteofhome.com/Tip-Of-The-Day/2008/05/12 http://feeds.tasteofhome.com/~r/taste-of-home/tip-of-the-day/~3/288450986/12 No-stick Molasses. When a recipe calls for molasses and oil, I measure the oil first and pour it out. Then I measure the molasses in the same cup. It flows out without sticking because the inside of the measuring cup is still slightly “oiled.” &mdash;Janis Plourde, Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario<img src="http://feeds.tasteofhome.com/~r/taste-of-home/tip-of-the-day/~4/288450986" height="1" width="1"/> Sun, 11 May 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://www.tasteofhome.com/Tip-Of-The-Day/2008/05/12 http://www.tasteofhome.com/Tip-Of-The-Day/2008/05/12 http://feeds.tasteofhome.com/~r/taste-of-home/tip-of-the-day/~3/288450986/12 Some fudge recipes recommend using a foil-lined pan.

But many recipes suggest first lining the pan with foil for additional reasons. The foil allows the fudge to be lifted out of the pan in one piece.
