My mom made the flakiest pies and the moistest cakes, but the one that always brought me running was Grandma's fudge. My 11-year-old self would restlessly hop from foot to foot and sigh at the longevity of the project. I would impatiently cut out a square (or two, or three) and pop the lovely treat into my mouth where it melted on my tongue. Pure bliss. As an adult, the combination of peanut butter and chocolate has a new place in my heart. The difference with my Reese's™ Piece O' Bliss Fudge recipe is how much easier you can go from beginning...to bliss.

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Microwave 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix well.
