PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE SAUCE

Every summer, as soon as the weather gets really warm and my family craves only ice cream for dessert, I make my Mom's recipe for 10-Minute Hot Fudge Sauce. It is quick and easy to make and absolutely delicious! I use it not only on frozen treats but also as a filling and topping on cakes, cupcakes, trifles, you name it. This peanut butter version was my Hubby's idea. One day, he suggested adding peanut butter to the sauce and I was completely sold on it! This sauce is what dessert dreams are made of. You have to try it!

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER HOT FUDGE SAUCE?

• In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, cocoa powder, peanut butter, butter and half and half. Cook until all ingredients are combined and smooth.
• Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla.
• Cool sauce for 10 to 15 minutes, then pour into a container (like a glass jar). Cool completely. Cover. Store in fridge. Warm up and stir before use.
• The sauce will thicken as it cools. You can also store it where you keep caramel sauce and other dessert toppings.

Tips for making the best Peanut Butter Fudge Sauce:

• Aside from adding peanut butter to my go-to fudge recipe, I also used half and half in place of milk. It makes for a creamier and thicker sauce. Of course, feel free to use milk if that's what you have on hand.
• If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add more half and half, going by tablespoons.
