      Hi Meg, I saw the tv show and this fudge looks great and seems to fit my level of cooking ability. Two questions : what temperature in the microwave and for those of us who are microwave challenged could this be done in a double boiler on the stove? If so, what temperature should they be cooked to? Can I combine the frosting in the double boiler and heat them together? Can I use crunchy peanut butter? Ok, there's my 2 questions. Thanks for the recipe.

        Well, I am glad you liked the segment! To answer your questions:
        The microwave can be on its regular setting.
        You can use a double boiler if you would like.
        Don't worry about temperature - all you are looking for is that the peanut butter and frosting are melted and blended together completely.
        I have never tried this with crunchy peanut butter, if you do let me know how it turns out.

          Hi Meg, I made the fudge today with Skippy super chunk and it is delicious. I took a picture but couldn't figure out how to send it.
          Fudge is great though,
          Thanks.
