WCW Issue 14 - Peanut Butter Fudge

Soooooooo goooood! I took this over to my sister's on Monday night for the Bachelorette Finale and today I think we are going to finish it off! It's so good! And addictive! And terribly awful for you but it's that good that you just shield your eyes as you you blend the pound of icing sugar into the peanut butter. I got the recipe from Cathy and am so glad I tried it (her pic is much better than mine but you get the idea)!

Peanut Butter Fudge (recipe from Alton Brown)
1 cup butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound powdered sugar
Microwave butter and peanut butter for 1 minute on high. (I used a 4 cup glass measuring cup.) Stir and microwave on high for 30 more seconds. Stir to ensure all the butter and peanut butter is melted and incorporated. Add vanilla and powdered sugar to peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. Pour over the Rice Krispy treats in the pan and spread evenly. Let cool in the fridge while you make the Chocolate Fudge.

Easy Chocolate Fudge
2 Tbsp butter

1 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Combine butter, milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallows, chocolate, and vanilla. Beat for about 1 minute, or until marshmallows melt and mixture is thoroughly combined. Pour over peanut butter fudge, spread evenly and place in the fridge to harden and cool.
