megan's microwave peanut butter fudge
The original recipe was on a show I watched on tv. I made it easier for myself (see directions). It is so good, I always make more than one batch, and those pieces get cut bigger than called for, because it is so good!

How To Make megan's microwave peanut butter fudge
-
Step 1Microwave butter and peanut butter for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. Add vanilla and powdered sugar to peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. (It will probably take more, because you don't want the fudge to be runny when you put into the pan to harden). Pour into a buttered 8 by 8-inch pan lined with waxed paper. Place a second piece of waxed paper on the surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Step 2I made this recipe in a 9" pie plate, when cool, inverted to remove. I used margarine rather than butter, and want to try it with sweet cream butter next time. Also, I did not grease the plate, merely used wax paper. As this is drying it is a little greasy, but once cold enough it is not any longer.

Step 3The next time I will make a double batch and put into a 9x13. I really prefer my fudge thicker than this recipe is originally intended to be if it claims to make 64 pieces. From the pie plate I got about 30 pieces.
