I was so embarrassed after I tasted the final fudge disaster. \u00a0It was hard, crumbly and pretty much inedible. \u00a0How can someone with some tiny bit of culinary sense, a relatively competent mind, and a candy thermometer screw up fudge? \u00a0Well, I did it!<\/p>\n

So, you may want to discontinue reading this blog, unless you want to feel better about yourself and laugh at the woman who couldn’t make something yummy using peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. \u00a0I am ashamed!<\/p>\n

I felt the need to redeem myself.<\/p>\n

My original inspiration was marshmallow fluff. \u00a0But now it’s getting serious and I just need a spectacular Peanut Butter Fudge. \u00a0So, I tried this recipe<\/a> from Alton Brown. \u00a0It uses the microwave and doesn’t require a candy thermometer. \u00a0I was a little skeptical, but the recipe was highly rated, and his recipes have always turned out pretty great when I’ve tried them in the past.<\/p>\n

The final product was creamy, sweet, rich and while not seeping with peanut butter flavor, was very good. \u00a0It was also incredibly easy. \u00a0If you’re planning to make treats for people this Christmas, or need something to add to a cookie tray, this is an easy and yummy fudge.<\/p>\n
