Yes you heard eat "CHEAT"....what! you might be saying. Yes it is ok to have a cheat every once in a while. It seems this time of year brings out the worst in me when it comes to treats. It makes it hard when you go into a store and the Halloween candy is screaming at you buy me buy me, eat me eat me. Then Thanksgiving come around and you have all that turkey and the other things that come with it. Oh then you have Christmas which is the worse because everyone is giving you pie, candy, cake etc. I am one of those that LOVES to bake this time of year, and to give it away (watch out friends). One of my favorites is the recipe below, I haven't made it in so long but love it. I will be giving these away (who will the lucky person be..lol..). Yes I am allowing myself this cheat.
Puddles of Fudge
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup pecan halves
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
- Cream butter, peanut butter and white and brown sugars. Mix in egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir the flour mixture into creamed mixture. Shape the dough into 48 balls, 1 inch each. Place each ball in one compartment of a mini muffin tin.
- For filling, put chocolate chips in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir in milk and vanilla, mix well.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately make wells in the center of each using a melon baller. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Then carefully remove to wire racks. Using a measuring cup fill each shell with the chocolate mixture. Then you can put sprinkles on them or pecans or a small bit of caramel.
