Easy Microwave Peanut Butter & Chocolate Fudge


I have really enjoyed "getting to know" Courtney through her Women Living Well website and now her book.  She is an inspiration to stay at home Christian mommies that need some genuine outlooks on life!  I was checking out her blog and found a recipe for Easy Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge.  You can go check it out here:  http://womenlivingwell.org/2013/10/easy-peanut-butter-fudge-in-the-microwave/  After looking at the recipe I realized I had all the ingredients plus some!  Yippee!  You know me, I have to change things up a bit so I added chocolate chips so that it's more of a chocolate/peanut butter fudge. It still turned out awesome!  (I made two goofs that I will correct the next time I make it - I forgot the vanilla AND I on ly put a little over a cup of confectioners sugar - oops!!)  I'm going to be sharing with my new sweet friend and Youth Pastor at our church MaryAnn!  She totally went out of her way for me and I really appreciated it!!

So....here's the recipe with changes:

Monday Miracles 10-14-13

Miracles happen around us all the time.  I have two little miracles that bless me with their presence everyday!  I feel like a miracle has happened when I find a front row parking spot or if something falls but it doesn't break.  I, also, see the little miracles that occur in not so pleasant situations.  Our move here to North Carolina was a bit shaky.  Miraculously we found a pretty cool place to live (we only had 4 choices).  We have met some wonderful people and have become a part of some wonderful events.  I feel like a miracle occurred when my girls were assigned their teachers.  Brooke's teacher could not have been more perfect for her personality and likewise with Madi's teacher.  Both will bring out my girls strengths and work on their weaknesses.  Yea!
And so back to the reason for this post!  I am going to point out some of the miracles in our life on Mondays.  Monday Miracles will start 9-21-13.  Some people keep a gratitude journal, I'm going to start keeping a miracle journal.
