Frosting Fudge Varieties

EASIEST FUDGE YOU CAN MAKE!

 

Easy Peanut Butter Fudge

Put one 12 ounce bag of Reese's peanut butter chips in a glass
bowl, spread them out so that they are not all in the middle of
the bowl and they will melt easier. Cook in microwave for 1 and
1/2 minutes. Take out and stir, then stir in one can vanilla
frosting (NOT WHIPPED), stir real well and put back in microwave
and cook for 1 and 1/2 minutes. Take out, add 1 teaspoon vanilla
and pinch of salt, and stir. Put in a 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch
buttered pan. Cool in refrigerator for 20 minutes, cut and eat.

Chill, then store this fudge in the freezer. When taken from the freezer, it is cold, but creamy, so it can be served right away.

1
cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon cream or milk, cold
1 container ready-made creamy frosting
