Thanks to my aunt who gave me the base recipe. I added peanut butter, but you can leave it out.
Microwave chocolate peanut butter fudge
Serves a crowd - Yields one 8 x 8 pan
1 lb. confectioners/powered sugar (about 3 1/4 cups)
1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. milk
1 T. vanilla extract
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter or margarine
1/4 c. peanut butter
In a microwave safe bowl, stir sugar, cocoa, salt, milk and vanilla extract together. You won't be able to make it perfectly smooth, and that's okay. Place butter on top.
Microwave 2 minutes on high.
Stir until smooth. Add peanut butter and keep stirring until it is melted and incorporated.
Pour into a wax paper lined 8x8 baking dish. Chill 30 minutes in freezer.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
