S’mores Fudge

I’ve been in full-on declutter mode lately. My closet got a thorough purge a few weeks ago. Jake’s clothes got a big reorganization with all of his now-too-small things packed up into space bags into the basement. And this week, I’ve been working on the refrigerator and pantry. There are a lot of things I just need to use up (or accept that I won’t and throw them out).

I realized I had two, half-full containers of chocolate icing the other day. Which automatically meant I needed to try another version of the Reese’s fudge I posted last week. And in the pantry, I found some white chocolate peanut butter and leftover ingredients from the S’more Pizza. S’mores Fudge was the obvious choice. It came out delicious – Mark and I both agreed we liked this version better!

Makes 1 pan

1 container chocolate icing
1 1/2 cups white chocolate peanut butter spread
Mini marshmallows
Crushed graham crackers

Line a small loaf pan with parchment.

Scoop the icing and spread into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and whisk until thoroughly combined. (Microwave in 15-second increments if it’s not melted enough.)

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers over the top and press in slightly. Refrigerate for several hours before slicing and serving. Store covered in the refrigerator.

Quick & Easy Reese’s Fudge

Do you believe in fate? Occasionally, I think the universe just begs for things to happen. Like, this fudge popped up in my Facebook feed right after I put little man down for a nap. And I had all the ingredients handy. It was like the whole world was just begging for this to get made. Of course, I obliged.

This was ridiculously easy. Like, I had it finished and the kitchen cleaned up before Jake’s power nap was over. That never happens! It’s not my favorite fudge ever (that’s Mom’s!), but it’s reminiscent of the fudge we get on the boardwalk and my husband has been munching it happily all week. I’m sure this will be my go-to way to use up leftover icing in the future!
