Recipe

(Adapted from Jif)

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 jar (18 ounces) crunchy peanut butter (we used Jif brand extra crunchy)
• 1 package (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¼ teaspoon almond extract
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Directions

Line an 8×8-inch square pan with foil, leaving some overhang. Mist with cooking spray. In a large microwave-safe bowl, place the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Microwave on high for a minute or two, stirring until melted.

Add the almond extract and condensed milk and blend well until smooth. Quickly pour into prepared pan.

Refrigerate to set for at least an hour. Remove from the refrigerator. Lift the foil overhang to take the fudge out of the pan. Slice into small squares.

Notes

• Although we are not fond of fudge, we actually like this recipe because the extra crunchy peanut butter tones down the sweetness of the chocolate.
