Fool-Proof Peanut Butter Fudge

So the Holidays are upon us and I loved baking some home-made from scratch sugar cookies last year.  Had all intentions of our wonderful son helping me decorate them & everything.  Yeahhh that lasted for a good total of a hot minute!! LOL  Gotta love toddlers :)   So this year though I really wanted to do them again simplicity just seems to be the best fit with our busy busy fall into winter schedules.

So perusing through my daily ventures on Pinterest I came across this repin of Fool-Proof Peanut Butter Fudge from http://realmomkitchen.com/9290/foolproof-peanut-butter-fudge/ .  That wonderful light-bulb AH-HA moment came into play on FINALLY being able to put to use a thing of frosting i've had in my pantry. Now the peanut butter was another issue since the only cannister of PB I had was almost half way used, so off to the grocery store for me.  Well after figuring out I had the wrong number of ounces on the PB, got 18oz instead of the 16.3oz, & wrong size pan, calls for 9X9 I only have an 8x8, this recipe still worked & per the kiddo & DH it came out a hit!

Fool-Proof Peanut Butter Fudge

**haha sorry for the missing pieces some couldn't help resist before I could take a picture**

 

Ingredients:

  1 tub (1 lb/16oz) Vanilla Frosting

  1 jar (16.3 oz) Creamy Peanut Butter

**in the comments suggestions on original site it said you could use a combination of frosting options, I had cream cheese & added several big squirts of chocolate syrup--will be trying other frosting options.   For the holiday season I added Christmas/Holiday sprinkles on top for that holiday/Christmas feel**

 

Directions:

 Line a 9 x 9 inch dish with foil and set aside.

 In a microwave safe bowl, add Vanilla Frosting and Peanut Butter, do not stir. Microwave 1min

 Stir until until combined and smooth

 Pour into pan and spread until even

 Refrigerate until firm

 Remove fudge from the pan using foil and cut into squareshttp://diysimpleathome.blogspot.com/2012/12/fool-proof-peanut-butter-fudge.html
