Want to know what else rocks about this candy-bar fudge aside from the taste . . . the recipe—all the prep is done via the microwave.
Call me lazy, but I love that. I realize it, it’s not that much shorter, but the perception is that. And as they say, perception is everything—although I don’t always agree with this, but in most baking situations, I do. This being one of them.
So grab your microwave safe bowls and let’s get started. Oh, and if you are looking for a holiday candy to make that ships well—add this to the list.
This is a Better Homes and Gardens recipe that I gave the slightest tweak to by swapping out the peanuts for salted almonds. For those sticking to the peanuts, I recommend salted peanuts. It’s going to add so much more flavor by giving you that sweet and salty combo.
