Chili Fudge Dip

Ok. The summers always drive me up the wall. I wish I was born in Greenland. I love cold. And here I am struggling through life in this tropical heat. By the way, isn't it funny that Greenland should be all ice, literally, and Iceland, lush green?  Anyway, the last week I have spent as little time in the kitchen as I could. So mostly, I have trumped up salads and now this dip. I think dips are great. They are easy to make and takes little time, ccan be made way in advance and the best thing to serve with some chips, fresh cut veggies and crackers if friends should decide to invade. And during summers especially, they are life savers for me.
Now I really started out to make Fudge the other day, and guess what I ended up making a savoury dip. Check it out.
