Nutterbutter Fudge {Microwave}

OH.MY.SOUL!!!!!!!!!

This easy fudge is fantastic! Maybe even Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!

Only 4 simple ingredients - a microwave - an 8" X 8" pan and you are all set!

Honestly, it took less than 2 minutes to make this irresistible treat. 

This would make a special gift for the holidays or if you need to make something quick for a bake sale or potluck. 

I used the little (round, tall) tub of mini Nutterbutter cookies (at the Dollar store) - worked perfectly. I'm a gal who loves crunch, and having that extra YUM to bite into made this perfect for me. 

I found the recipe at Kristin's Knook and know I will be making it for the holidays. I've already stocked up when I found peanut butter chips on sale. 

I thank her kindly for allowing me to share this recipe here...it's also in my second cookbook. (which is sold out!)

Not long ago, we had an out-of-town friend spend the night (Hi Kristal!). She's always been WILD about peanut butter fudge.  After tasting mine, she went & bought the ingredients so I could make it so she could take it with her.  
*-*

(And six months later when I was in touch with her, she told me she's made this awesome fudge 50 times!...hmm...she does have a tendency to exaggerate a little bit=) 

MMMM good stuff!

NUTTER BUTTER FUDGE

1/2 c. peanut butter

1 - 11 ozs. bag Reese's Peanut Butter Chips

(I suggest using name brand for fullest flavor)

1 - 14 ozs. can sweetened condensed milk

1 container mini-Nutterbutter cookies (or about 8 large, crushed coarsely)

Line an 8" X 8" pan with foil & spray with cooking spray.

(I used nonstick foil)

In a microwavable bowl, melt the peanut butter, chips and sweetened condensed milk together.  After 45 seconds on high, I stirred and stirred until it was all nearly melted, then zapped it for another 10 - 15 seconds. (Be careful not to overcook.. you just want everything melted together.) Fold in cookie crumbs. Spread evenly in pan and refrigerate to harden. 

(Don't let a drop go to waste (waist!) Grab a spatula and be sure to lick up every tasty bite left in the bowl!=)
