Hello Everyone!

It's that time of the year again ... forget all the diets and dive right into those sweet goodies! Yeah, we are going to pay for it later .. but what's life without a little temptation? 

And if you are a superstrong dieter (is that even a word?),please, don't deprive your friends and family of this heavenly, chocolaty, peanutbuttery sweetness!! 

                 BUCKEYE FUDGE!!

And guess what, it's so simple and easy to make .. two bowls, a 8x9inch pan, a few ingredients and a microwave!! 

Are you drooling yet? ... hmmmm, maybe just make it and have a piece, or two, or more ...

INGREDIENTS

Peanut Butter Layer

1 cup butter

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

3½ cups powdered sugar

Chocolate Layer

7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (½ of a 14 ounce can)

1½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons butter

To make the Peanut Butter Layer – Combine the peanut butter, butter and vanilla in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave for 90 seconds. Stir to combine, it should come together very quickly and be smooth and creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar a cup or so at a time. Stir to combine thoroughly. Grease an 8-9 inch pan with butter or line with parchment. Transfer the peanut butter fudge mixture to the pan and press into the pan.

Now make the Chocolate Layer – Combine the milk, the chocolate and the butter in a medium size glass bowl and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds. Stir to combine and heat another 15 seconds if needed. Stir until smooth. Pour over the peanut butter fudge.

Let your fudge cool on the counter for at least 4 hours (if you can😉) before cutting, or chill in the refrigerator. Slice into bite size servings and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. 

Enjoy!
