Melt In Your Mouth Peanut Butter Fudge Food

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

Steps:

• With two tablespoons of softened butter (not melted), use clean bare hands to grease a 9-inch x 13-inch glass cake pan. Make sure to completely and evenly coat the pan.
• Place the following ingredients in an extra large microwavable glass mixing bowl in the order listed: powdered sugar, butter, cocoa, peanut butter and milk. Do not toss or mix. (Note: It is important to ensure there are no clumps in the powdered sugar, as you do not want unsightly white clumps throughout your smooth fudge.).

• Store refrigerated for up to two weeks (that is if it makes it that long!).
