A while back, Angiepen was evil enough to tell me about Alton Brown's recipe for microwave peanut butter fudge. I resisted trying it, knowing that if it was this easy I'd make it all the time and gain weight. I resisted until TONIGHT, that is, when Wiggle begged me to let him make fudge. I did, with his dad supervising, and OMG is it good, and it was SO

woa that really sounds easy...easy enough for me to do it *hm* thank god i don't like peanut butter rofl i shouldn't eat sweet stuff...

OMG you don't like peanut butter? ACK! I LOVE peanut butter. How can you eat Reese's Cups without liking peanut butter?

I would die, DIE, I tell you!

I make regular fudge too but I don't know if you can do that in the microwave. Probably not so easily at least. The combination of fat and protein in the peanut butter probably helps the fudge set to the right consistency in the microwave. Usually you have to boil it to a certain temperature and then wait for it to cool to a certain temperature, and then beat it for EVER, before putting it in the pan to harden. :P

i don't eat reese's cups either ;D we don't have it over here and "nutella" is more popular which is like peanut butter but with hazelnuts and cocoa...

i just googled what fudge actually is and it looks delicious *licks lips* but like i said, not too much chocolat-y stuff for me *pouts*

Yeah, even easier than the PB fudge made with Marshmallow Fluff. Who knew it could be this easy?!

[illuminated_sin]

Oh, you really should try it if you like PB fudge! It's SO easy and quick, and so good! :D Ours is already long gone, of course. Can't expect that stuff to sit around in THIS house. :P
