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.
