This recipe for peanut butter hot fudge, from the new book I wrote with chef Todd English (Cooking in Everyday English), is truly out of this world. Don't tell my family but when I first made this recipe I drank half of it like soup, right out of the pot!

You can serve it up with Todd's recipe for homemade ice cream, which is also in the book, or simply pick up your favorite store-bought brand. Either way, this dessert is a slam dunk!

Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

Unsalted butter, 1⁄2 cup

Unsweetened chocolate baking bar, 1 oz.

Sugar, 3⁄4 cup

Unsweetened cocoa, 1⁄4 cup

Evaporated milk, 1 (5-oz.) can

Creamy peanut butter, 1⁄2 cup

Vanilla extract, 1 tsp.

Kosher salt, 1⁄4 tsp.

Preparation

1. Melt butter and chocolate in a small, non-aluminum saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in sugar and cocoa until blended. Gradually add evaporated milk, stirring until blended.

2. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when bubbles appear. Stir in peanut butter and remaining ingredients. Serve warm, spooned over ice cream.
