Peanut Butter Fudge is a very dangerous recipe for three reasons: first, it's peanut butter; second, it's fudge; third, it takes about 10 minutes to make.

My intention for this recipe was as a backup for the Maple-Oatmeal Bar should it not have worked out. Otherwise it was originally planned as an “if there's time” (although with how quickly it comes together, there is always time) and was never solidified as part of my Christmas menu.

How much more do you need to know about this fudge? As I said, it's peanut butter, it's fudge and it tastes awesome, what more is there? It is not as sickeningly sweet as some, and it has the right amount of peanut butter for the average person (I classify the average person as those who have not eaten peanut butter directly out of the jar :)).

If you have the ingredients on hand I won't blame you if you left right now to make some. Just do me one favour? Point your monitor towards the TV so I have something to look at while you're gone (too creepy :)?)
