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.
Alton Brown has done it again – this recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge from his online site at the food network website was a hit at both our party and as part of Christmas Day dessert.
