Section Three Chem-Phys Peanut Butter Fudge Rice Krispy Treats!

Okay, so, i kinda technically already posted these. Except there's a difference. These are heaven. Like real, Jesus-can-walk-on-water delicious.
My Chem-phys class was having one last physics party together, and these were the first to go. DId i mention how much i love my chem-phys class? Section three might have the lowest test grades, and we might not get one question right on our review jeopardy, but we are the class with the coolest t-shirts.
All I can say is I'm glad I had somewhere to take these treats, otherwise they would have all ended up in my mouth within seconds. Although finals week combined with packing for Europe stress has caused me to whip out the marshmallows and peanut butter and stand by the kitchen counter with a whisk in hand and a gleaming look in my eyes. Then I quickly remember in less than a week I'll be in an actual bathing suit and unfortunately peanut butter fudge doesn't seem to get along with my hips. Maybe you'll have better luck with yours.
On a completely different note, I've been recruited for my high school swim team. Okay, that was a lie. The coaches simply asked me to consider joining. And the weird thing is.. it kind of seems fun. There's something about getting up at 5:30 in the morning to exercise (no matter what kind) that's appealing. It makes the rest of the day seem a lot less long. Can't you picture diving in a pool and being crowned gold medalist for the 200 IM? Maybe I'll try it. Maybe it's just a wistful fantasy.


Peanut Butter fudge mixed with chocolate fudge and rice krispy treats. Mmm. The second best thing.



Peanut Butter Fudge Rice-Krispies!

Ingredients:

For the RIce Krispy Treats:
4 Table Spoons Butter
1 Package Regular Marshmallows
6 Cups of Rice Krispy Cereal

For the Peanut Butter Fudge:
1 cup butter, plus more for greasing pan
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound powdered sugar

For the Chocolate Fudge:
2 Tbsp butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Prepare pan:
Line a 9 X 12 inch pan with wax parchment paper. grease parchment paper lightly. This ensure the treats will have easy removal.

Make the Rice Krispies!:
1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and allow to melt completely, stirring occasionally so they don't brown.
2. When marshmallows are liquidy and completely melted, add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies and Stir until mixed evenly throughout.
3. Spread evenly in prepared pan

Make the peanut butter fudge:
1. Microwave butter and peanut butter in the same bowl for 2 minutes, so they both melt. Stir and microwave for another minute, to really liquify.
2.add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the mixture and stir until fully combined. Spread this evenly over the rice krispies in the pan. :)

Make the chocolate fudge:
1. Put the butter, sugar, milk and salt in a saucepan over medium/ high heat. Bring this to a boil and continue to cook for 4 minutes. Very important, or fudge will remain soft and melty.
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla.
3. Beat in marshmallows with an electric mixer on medium speed until all melted and beat into the mixture.
4. Pour over peanut butter fudge and place in the refridgerator to set, or leave out on counter (this will take slightly longer however)
5. Cut into one-inch-squares and enjoy!
