Make This Peanut Butter Fudge Faster Than You Can Say “Easy”!
My husband insists that when I was pregnant with the twins, I craved peanut butter a lot. I couldn’t remember my specific cravings because my pregnancy has all been a blur to me. For one, I was more concerned with satisfying the babies in my tummy, so I would eat anything I craved. And then there’s the fact that I craved almost everything! So you couldn’t really blame me for not remembering a specific craving.
But pregnant or not, I love peanut butter. It’s a comfort food for me. Any peanut butter dessert is like a slice of heaven.
At home, when you inspect my pantry, you will see different jars of peanut butter in there. I have chunky, plain, and even super chunky. I love the chunky peanut butter the most because I really love peanuts.
My husband is addicted to peanut butter too. Sometimes, I catch him eating straight from the jar while watching television. I started buying him his own jar after that, which he finds amusing.
