Nutterbutter Fudge

Attention food bloggers:  My recipe index is giving me a headache.  Do you have any tips on how to organize it?  Do you ever go through and re-do recipes to get better pictures?  Do you only include what you love in your index?  Or do all your posts go into it?  (Such a first world problem)

So I'm really bad at sharing my food.

  Like, horrible.

If I had access to my parents' photo albums, I could show you the picture of me, at 18 months old, walking around with a giant bag of bbq chips, munching as I go and not willing to let anyone else eat them.

Last week, I brought home a bag of chips as a pre-dinner snack.  My husband was on his way to the sporting goods store and he spotted the bag on the counter as he walked toward the door.  While I was putting groceries away, he downed half the bag of chips.

On the outside, I put the groceries away.

On the inside, I was screaming, "Those are my chips!"

Not that I didn't want him to have any.  I just wanted to have them first.  

And we all know that boys will eat all of something before they even realize it's gone. 

And it's 2 whole miles back to the grocery store.

Unbelievable.  

In order to save our marriage, I kept my mouth shut.  

He left.  

I ate the rest of the chips while I caught up on reading blogs.

A happy ending.

I made this fudge a couple of weeks ago.  I cut it up into neat little pieces.  Took some pictures.  Tossed it all into a Ziploc bag and put it in the freezer.

For 3 days, everytime I walked by the freezer, I grabbed a piece.  

And every time, I noticed the bag had less and less pieces to grab.

Scott was eating it too.

I had to share my fudge AND my chips?!  Unbelievable.  Don't even get me started on how fast ice cream has been disappearing.*

I should probably be grateful that I didn't eat all that junk food myself.  We all know that eventually I would've.

Good thing he doesn't like marshmallows.

Nutterbutter Fudge
makes an 8x8 pan

1 container mini-Nutterbutters (or about 10 large), crushed
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 bag Reeses' Peanut Butter chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk

In a microwavable bowl, melt the chips, peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk together.  I did 45 second intervals, stirring in between.  It just took a couple of minutes.
Fold in the crushed Nutterbutters.
Line an 8x8 pan with foil (you might want to spray it too) and pour in the mixture.  Even it out with a spatula and stick it in the freezer for a few hours to harden.

(Then lick the bowl when your husband isn't paying attention.)

You could also stir in some mini-marshmallows once the mixture is melted (when you fold in the cookies). Do not put the marshmallows in the microwave.  I had one great big failed attempt at this fudge a few weeks ago because I made the mistake of melting the marshmallows.

*Let it be noted that I would give up all the ice cream in the world if it meant he could stay here and not go back to finish up this stupid deployment.
