When I first saw the recipe on -> Midlife Healthy Living I knew I had to try it. The multistep process of fudge has always intimated me so making fudge using my microwave seemed genius and easy! As an added bonus this recipe is easy for kids to make with minor help, I mean peanut butter and frosting fudge sounds amazing right?

2 Ingredient Fudge Ingredients:
- 1 16 Oz Tub Frosting– Rich and creamy style of frostings are what works best for this recipe. The Cream Cheese frostings and the whipped frostings will not work on this. The Rainbow Chip and Coconut Peacan frosting will not turn out well in this recipe either.
- 1 Jar 16oz Creamy Peanut Butter– Any brand of creamy peanut butter works amazingly in this recipe, I would avoid ones with honey or jelly in it. Chunky peanut butter can be used if you want that consistency for your fudge instead of a smooth fudge.
