Microwave 5 Ingredients Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce

Ingredients :
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 3-5 tablespoons milk
  • 2 oz. (about 1/3 cup) chopped chocolate or chocolate chips (you can use milk, dark, or semi-sweet... whatever you prefer)


Combine the sugar, cocoa, peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of the milk. Microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until it's bubbling vigorously. 
Stir in one more tablespoons of milk and the chocolate and keep stirring until the chocolate is melted. Add a little more milk if it's too thick. Can be stored in the refrigerator and warmed up again in the microwave before each use. 

Flourless Marshmallow Crunch Brownies


 


For the Brownies: 
  • 2 cups white sugar 
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil 
  • 4 large eggs 
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla 
  • 1 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate 

For the Topping: 

  • 1 bag mini marshmallows (10.5 oz. or 5.5 cups)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • 1 1/4 cups peanut butter
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies, gluten free if needed (I actually used Cocoa Krispies because I strangely can't find plain here. Not complaining.) 



Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. 
Combine the sugars and oil and beat until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and whisk together. Beat for about two minutes. 
Add the cocoa powder and salt to the batter and blend until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan. 
Bake the brownies for about 17 minutes and then top with the marshmallows. Continue baking 8 more minutes (if using a different recipe for the brownies, just make sure you add the marshmallows during the last 8 minutes of bake time). Allow to cool while you prepare the topping.
For the topping, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave safe dish. Microwave thirty seconds at a time, stirring at each interval, until smooth and melted. Fold in the Rice Krispies. 
Lay dollops of the topping evenly across the top of the cooled brownies and then spread to cover the entire top. Wait until completely cooled to cut. You can keep these in the fridge for a chewier crispier brownie or on the counter for a gooier brownie. 


Note: I halved the recipe and used a 9x9 inch pan (a strange European size), so my brownies were a little bit thin.

PUMPKIN- CHOCOLATE CHIP SQUARES


INGREDIENTS:

2 cups Gold Medal® All-Purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated white sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup canned pure (unsweetened) pumpkin purée
One 12-ounce package mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin purée (mixture may appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, and mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
5. Lift cake from pan (using foil as an aid). Peel off foil, and use a serrated knife to cut into 24 squares.

TIPS:

*If you can't find pumpkin pie spice, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon each allspice and cloves.
*Make sure the cake has cooled completely before cutting. Sometimes it's easier to get nice, clean cuts if it is chilled in the refrigerator for a while first.

You can place the lid back on for a while, simmer and let the mangoes release their juices to create a wonderful, sweet and tangy sauce.
4. Place fish on serving platter, top with mangoes and sauce and serve immediately.

TIPS:

*If you are preparing this recipe as GLUTEN FREE, substitute GF flour for the all-purpose flour, and make sure you are using a brand of chicken broth that is designated as GF.
