Creamy peanut butter fudge that is sure to delight any sweet tooth.
Ken was a little skeptical at first since it’s made in the microwave and not on the stove top. Would there be enough control of temperature and checking for the consistency of the candy? Yes. The recipe appears to be fool proof as peanut butter is much less temperamental than chocolate.
When we travel (we've logged over 3000 miles thus far on this trip) my mouth and lips get dry and I need something soothing. This trip it's been LIFESAVER candies. The taste began with a single roll purchased at a gas station. Later, while visiting Gordons in Grand Rapids to pick up spices, potatoes, and parchment paper (all items I have particular favorites for and can't get them in the RGV) we picked up an enormous bag of Lifesavers and all 4 of us have been enjoying them since the first southern-ward miles. Along the miles we had quite a discussion about the flavors which I've come to realize after a little searching have in fact changed. The original flavors were lemon, lime and orange with cherry and pineapple added soon after. I remember getting Lifesavers in my Christmas stocking as a kid and Ken has always had a penchant for the roll of cherry.
I'm sorry to report that we've not had any meals "to write home about" in the last couple of days. We're looking for a good BBQ place along the way but thus far no luck. Perhaps we'll just have to wait until we get home and have some of Ken's amazing ribs! (I'll post the recipe tomorrow and some photos from one of the recent times he made them.)
