For all you peanut butter lovers....this is similar to peanut butter fudge, but with a more creamier texture, topped with a layer of smooth chocolate. Although the recipe calls for a layer of chopped peanuts on the bottom, they can be omitted if desired, or use any chopped nuts that you desire. This is a very rich treat, so cut into small squares! Ingredients:
2 cups finely chopped peanuts (salted or unsalted) |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2/3 cup evaporated milk |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |

300 g peanut butter chips |
2 cups semisweet chocolate |
1/2 cup butter |
Directions:
1. Line a 8x8 pan with foil.
2. Sprinkle 1 cup of the peanuts over the bottom of the pan; set aside.
3. In a saucepan, heat together sugar, milk, butter,and salt, over med heat, stirring often; bring to a hard boil, then boil for 4-5 mins, stirring.
4. Remove from heat, then add mini marshmallows and peanut butter chips.
5. Beat vigorously for 1 minute to completely melt the marshmallows.
6. Pour into prepared pan, over peanuts.
7. Sprinkle with remaining peanuts.
8. Lightly press peanuts into mixture.
9. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the 2 cups of chocolate chips with 1/2 cup butter or margarine; mix very well to combine until smooth.
