Alton Brown's Easy Peanut Butter Fudge
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Few holiday treats say "I care" quite like fudge, which is delicious, tedious, and time consuming. Since it only has 4 ingredients and takes about 10 minutes to make, this fudge says "I forgot to get you anything, so I made this at the last minute." Luckily, it's so delicious, no one will really care.
Happy Holidays!

I love how excited Alton gets when he says the brand name of a product.
same, hehe the man has truly been unleashed here on youtube
@@Hawk_Leigh Absolutely. I like Alton as he is more than the "TV friendly" toned down version. Hopefully he keeps up the the youtube content. Merry Christmas meanwhile !
@@MrK-ti5lt Haha same! TH-cam Alton is the true Alton! And Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you, Alton, from the bottom of my heart, for this timely post. I was able to make this with peanut butter from the food bank so that I could give a present this year. I haven't been able to buy food in 6 months, so there were no eggs or milk for baking. It's been extreme quarantine kitchen here, but you and Elizabeth have made it not just tolerable, but enjoyable. Merry Christmas, and may 2021 be a better year for us all!
I hope things are going better for you this year
Yes, I too hope it is a better year. I wish I could buy you some groceries.
Best of luck to you and your family 💚
Love Alton Brown, always have.
Get a job, ya bum
This guy .. is about as REAL as it gets. Everything I've ever tried from AB... works like a charm, and makes me look like a Rock Star in the kitchen!
the fact that you actually caught a microwave blip on camera is so freaking cool to me, glad you didnt screw up your phone though
Thanks for the recipe AB!!! I’m so glad you’re on TH-cam. I’m a huge Good Eats fan from WAY BACK!!!
I tried this and is FANTASTIC!!!!
Merry Christmas to you and Elizabeth. I’m home for a Covid-19 quarantine watch. Wife had it but not me, at least not yet. This has made my day
Awesomeness! You da' man AB. Merry Christmas.
Alton is a beast when it comes to cooking
Reminds me of grinch of cooking 😂😂😂
Omg I used to love watching this guy.
My kids erupted when you said, "hot as the dickens!" They thought I was the only person that said that. Ha!
In what way is the dickens hot? Asking for a friend.
This always turns out great. I've even done it with a portion of the all natural stuff (chunky) which came out pretty great, and I personally like the small peanut chunks in it.
That being said, Can we get an updated chocolate fudge video alton? I've attempted it twice, and i've never gotten it to come out right.
Some of the best peanut butters I've had say 'natural' on the label - but use molasses as the emulsifier, so they don't separate (also, that touch of sweet).
Jif is the GOAT.
Thank you
This along with Nigella Lawson's recipe are my go to for the holidays. Has anyone tried to find an option for dairy free for Alton's recipe? Or is the dairy fat needed for the recipe to work? I have friend with a serious allergy and a carving for this stuff.
Could you add chocolate chips at the same time as the vanilla?
Wonder if you could make this keto by using swerve confectioners sugar. Maybe add cocoa powder to make a chocolate version.... hmmmm
Alton, let's not kid ourselves. My friends are never going to see any of this fudge.
Could Nutella work?
You only cut 7 times each way for an 8 by 8 cut. 1cut=2pieces and so on, sorry I’m a math nerd lol. Looked delicious anyways! I wanna make some now.
AB is flexing the freedom of dropping brand names and his opinions thereof with reckless abandon. Love it.
fLeXiNg
Agreed.
Ok I guess
Hadn't thought about it like this. Always knew AB was one of my favorites, however your comment gave me a new perspective on him and I think he just went up a couple ranks. lol
Well, JIF is the number one brand even after that recall, it just happens but, once the manufacturer gets thing’s back on track you still can trust the quality of the product!
This is how the guy at the cell phone repair shop gets his story about the customer who accidentally microwaved their cell phone.
Saying "I forgot it in the microwave trying to imitate an Alton Brown video" is a lot less embarrassing than the truth in most cases, which is people thought it would recharge it because of a FB video.
@@DynamicUnrealitywhat happen to just owning up to being high?
"It's Christmas, live a little ok?" Things like that make Alton the best.
I like that Alton Brown isn't held back by Food TV now, he can make what he wants, how he wants, and with what ingredients he wants. It's like the uncensored version of Good Eats lol.
Better, since there is no time limit or amount...
_I know some people like sKiPpY or pEtEr PaN_
@@MrV902 who?! What monster likes those?
@@bigmacmm5 Ugh, my Father LOVES Skippy. It's so gross. Jif all the way. I like making my own PB too, but Jif is a classic.
@@bigmacmm5 Skippy was OK, I _guess,_ when I was in grade school, but once I first tasted Jif, I knew I'd been missing out.
For some reason it makes me immensely happy to hear and see the same/similar sound effects and transitions he's since OG Good Eats.
It's a bit like coming home after a long time away.
@@alexmorganmc.1262 Exactly! 🙂
You know Alton's a true blue chef 'cause he doesn't fix what isn't broken.
@@LordofBays Yup. I'm still making his recipes from 20 years ago.
I have to give a shout-out to his show's composer. I'm a huge Vince Guaraldi, and if you listen carefully to the accompanying music, you'll hear an homage tune done in the style of the 'Skating' instrumental tune on the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. It's not the same music, because copyrights and all that, but whomever put it together got the right, light, jazzy and nostalgic feel.
3:36 This man just really microwaved his phone 🤣
It was the stunt phone.
@@mollysmith6055 lol 😂
In most microwaves the inverter doesn't turn on for the first few seconds or is getting a soft warmup. So he got lucky... just barely.
It makes me feel better that Alton gets video bombed too 🤪
@@ReaperUnreal it looks like it did start messing with the video for a few frames, though. So he lucked out.
I did make this recipe . It was easy , simple to follow his instructions and turned out to be the best Peanut Butter fudge that I have tasted . It was very creamy and smooth . And I did not share any of it ! It is or was that good !
lmao he legit microwaved his phone for a few seconds
As someone who actually did put a phone in the microwave back when I was a kid, that made me tense up, lol. I know from experience it does NOT take long for a microwave to wreck a phone, lol.
Yup!! Time to scream at my phone like he can hear! Yeah...I do that!
I seem to recall Alton Brown saying once that he had a microwave with the magnetron tube disabled for use in shots like this on Good Eats. Lights up, turns on the fan, spins the platter, but no actual microwaves come out.
@@IanMcCloghrie You can tell it's the same scene though
It could have been on a slow defrost setting or something else that would greatly reduce the potential for really damaging the phone (assuming it was a staged shot).
I remember my childhood cheat fudge. My dad never cooked, but at Christmas he was in charge of stirring together a combination of molten margarine, marshmallow cream and chocolate chips until it came together in a gigantic tan bowl we kept around for literally no other purpose.
Holy smoke. I literally just made that fudge yesterday. I had to go get margarine 🤣
Man, I am with Alton on 'unitaskers' but I think we all have a bowl that we only use for one thing, and that is just fine.
That fudge sounds amazing but it's begging for the addition of rice krispies. also real butter. What's the ratio in that recipe?
@@KairuHakubi It's been at at least five years since I made it, so I'd google "marshmallow cream fudge" before listening to me, or ask April in the above comment. I think two bags of chips, a regular size jar of marshmallow cream and a pound of margarine. Rice Krispies sounds pretty genius. I think we used nuts sometimes--maybe pecans?
@@roebuckmckinney Thank youuu I might experiment. Sounds like in essence a gelatin-stabilized vegetable-oil ganache. I would probably substitute coconut cream for the margarine if it was feasible to get a dang pound of it.
"literally"
My mom passed a couple of years ago, and one of my favorite things at Christmas was her peanut butter fudge and I had no idea how she made it. Thank you for this. I'm going to try it the night before Christmas Eve at 11:38PM after I've had a couple glasses of scotch. Wish me luck!
did you make it?
@jasonbalicki7948 Did you make it? How'd it turn out?
Be careful cutting it
Scotch & making pb fudge, good combo😅how'd it turn out for ya?
Thank you from the UK.
"But natural peanut butter is better for you!" They say as they eat 2 sticks of butter and 3 cups of sugar.
When are people going to learn, food is just food. The only thing to worry about in there is maybe the hydrogenated stuff, because that IS fake health-food junk.. replace it with lard and you're all good probably.
I really prefer the way natural peanut butter tastes
@@kamcorder3585 That's valid enough. it's like, sometimes people want ketchup, sometimes they want pureed tomatoes. they're different things
@@KairuHakubi hydrogenated oils are no different than saturated fatty acids. Your body wont be mad if you eat FULLY hydrogenated. Just stay away from PARTIALLY hydrogenated... that is deadly! FULLY is just Sat. Fat... which isn't too bad!
@@CartoonManWhoo Thaaaat's right, thanks for reminding me. I used to know that and I forgot.
Alton even had a wonderful little train model to illustrate it, or maybe it was a bus? or a rollercoaster. And the seats represented the open spaces where hydrogen can go.
The peanut butter industry just boomed for the next week due to this.
The market mover, Mr. Brown.
Buy Jif stock now!
Nah...just buy Jif!! Yay!
RIGHT... and I just bought a new jar of Jiff this week
Peter Pan Honey Roasted Crunch is off the shelves down here.....MISSING!
@@naftalibendavid
That is NOT a bad idea.
Hey... If Alton says so... it has to be true.
This is a great recipe. I could use this for choc coated peanut butter balls ❗️
Gotta love the sneaky Elizabeth looking for treats. Half expected there to be a chunk missing before he cut into it! :D
Either steal a piece or set a piece of kale or Kimchee on it! 🎅🏼🤶🏼☃️
Alton using a microwave to make pb fudge?!?! I'm shocked 😂 Way to go Alton; no fuss no muss. Looks yummy! Thanks!
I was expecting a sewing kit at the end when he opened it.
Yeah!! The memories huh?
Omg I’m only 29 and I literally have sewing supplies in one of my leftover Danish biscuit tins because that’s just what happens when you age.
He could lift the lid 100 times and the expectation might fade but it wouldn't completely go away.
I have always like watching Alton Brown, he educates us on food not just shows how to make it.
I love that too! It’s science and art!
Y’all really don’t remember Alton having cameras in every oven he ever used on Good Eats 😂
He pretty much did. Ovens, refrigerators, pantries, etc.
It wasn't just limited to ovens. Cupboards, refrigerators cabinets or anything else he could open I think? 😎
Pepperidge Farm remembers
He did start out as a film student and spent a number of years operating cameras and directing music videos and commercials. Cinematography, camera angles, and framing were definitely areas of expertise for him and it carried over to his shows, I think he didn't get really good at cooking until after.
@@KalOrtPor didn’t know that, very cool!
I've been making this for probably 15 years now thanks to you and your show!
Merry Christmas Alton and Elizabeth!
"don't be a kid", I literally laughed out loud
You caught that microwave just in time, theres a frame in there where the image distorts and goes black haha
The dudes in tv, and you don't think that's vfx.
@@BenderTheBoiler no I dont because its unnecessary
“It’s not Good Eats after all”
Proceeds to use similar transitions and sounds from his days on Good Eats 😂
Not to mention the odd camera angles
Stick to what you know works and entertains. The Good Eats formula ain’t broken, don’t go looking to abandon it.
@@jordajh couldn’t agree more. I loved Good Eats when I was younger, been a fan of Alton Brown ever since
He uses the same shltty recipes too
@@noway974 seems a bit uncalled for
You actually don't need to use a microwave. I just melted the butter and peanut butter in a nonstick saucepan on low heat (took hardly any time), then turned off the heat and stirred in the vanilla, then the powdered sugar. I used vegan butter (Earth Balance) and it turned out just like in the video. I also halved the recipe and made a neat little square of fudge on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, forming it with a rubber spatula. This may have been literally the fastest and easiest dessert I've ever made. Thanks Alton!
6:30 -- Mathematical pedantry : 8 *cuts* would actually produce 9 *pieces* on either axis, so 8 cuts both ways would actually produce 81 pieces. 7 cuts on an axis yields 8 pieces on that axis.
I'm glad you addressed "real" vs heavily processed peanut butter, and why you should use the latter.
If not, I might have used the real stuff and had it fall apart on me.
Jif does have a "natural" variety that it's great (it does contain palm oil, though; do with that what you will) and it's pretty homogenized, as in the oil doesn't separate as what happens with the Smucker's natural one. I used to buy the latter but I find it too salty now, plus it separates so much that there's a pool of oil on top and a really hard to scoop mass below the oil... The Jif one I can eat with a spoon.
Too bad, that organic peanut butter and (yes, you guessed it), Kerrygold butter, is all I have at home...😆
I’m trying with emulsified “hippy peanut butter,” because that’s what I have. It’s all Hippy nut butter is all I’ve ever had.
I just made it with teddies natural pb and it came out perfectly! I used an immersion stick to blend the butter and pb to make sure it was emulsified and it's delicious so you can use natural pb if it's all you have 😊
Alton Brown, you were a definite favorite on Food Network. I loved learning the science of baking and cooking. “Homogeneous mass” sounds so festive and appealing - thanks for the 😂😂 moment. Merry Christmas to you!
I'd like a homemade present from Alton...
I would be happy to see QQ back!
Remember when he made a Holocaust joke and apologised?
@@colin-campbell Point being?

Quarantine Alton: “Best I can do is a recipe.”
I'm not american, first time I'm introduced to this channel and I love the way he describes his recipe, very funny and entertaining. Gonna try this recipe eventhough it's not entirely healthy 😁😊
Same here
Thank you for tuning in to "The Fudge Aquatic with Alton Brown"
I actually giggle snorted.
-2 sticks of butter
-1cup peanut butter
-3 3/4cup powdered sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
I’m just imagining how much better those would be dipped in a good tempered chocolate to make something like a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup with a fudge center.
Yum! Maybe cut them to 1/2" pieces so they aren't too big after the covering!
You gotta do this!
Read my comment, thats how they taste ! Jin Herrera
It would basically be a reeses bar.
A store near me used to sell "bake your own reeses" kits, and the smell of this recipe after everything was microwaved and mixed was the literal exact smell from the peanut butter part of that kit
@@joeyc5879 but cheaper than reese's bars!
I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but if you cut a square 8 times along both the X & Y axes, you'll end up with 81 pieces. Seven cuts on each axis would yield 64.
Ok, ok, I get it. Shut up, nerd. Message received.
Thanks for the recipe.
"It's Christmas, live with it, ok?" Haha
'Live a little' is what I heard.💃🖖
With that hat I feel like I'm watching "Papa Smurf nukes food"
"I use Jif."
VINDICATION!!!
Alton and all the choosy moms agree
We'll I Didn't Know What It Looked Like🤔😂
But It's So Funny That You Pointed It Out lol
Love This Man!❤
Alton rocking the Jacques Cousteau look for the holidays.
Only here to see what he’s wearing on his wrist 🙋🏻♂️
Love the new vids, still missing Quarantine Quitchen though....
@Paola E I’m really out of the loop on what happened with Alton. What is T** and what are we not giving energy to?
@@sethd85 same here.
@Paola E I think there are new A&E QQ episodes starting in the New Year. ::fingerscrossed::
edit: i spelz reel gud!
@@maybe_nadie T** is the current US president.....Alton got some heat for comparing the administration to WWII Germany, and now with this martial law talk coming out he wasn't too far off base. Considering he's also gotten grief for leaning right, they shouldn't be giving him as hard a time for essentially agreeing in denouncing efforts to change the 2020 outcome. Even if someone thinks 45 is the greatest thing since Betty White, you take your punches and bow out gracefully instead of preferring chaos.
QQ isn't his forte and not my cup of tea, but to each his own.
YES!! 🥜 JIF peanut butter is the ONLY brand to use.
It certainly makes fudge taste
SO MUCH BETTER. Merry Christmas, y'all! ✝️ 🎄 🎅 ✝️ 🎄
I’m not liking ur vibe 👎😵💫🙄🧐
"poke a few holes in the wrap" proceeds to use a box cutter
I have 4 box cutters in my kitchen...they're so handy!
Gotta love Alton
I was dreading making fudge this year, no longer! Thanks Alton and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas to you, Elizabeth, Frannie, and Scabs. I hope for Christmas quarantine kitchen comes back. I miss spending time with you all. Thank You!
This is the first time I’ve watched you Alton and I was very entertained and informed, what a simple fudge recipe!. You’ve gained another subscriber and I’m looking forward to more of your festive treats. Great work mate
He used to have a show called Good Eats. He would cook and also talk about the ingredients. It was a good show.
If you go looking for more of his recipes, you've got 20+years of his unique way of cooking to explore.
What could be in here? Oh my gosh, its standing rib roast! You must have worked for hours!
weeks
This sounds so good. I'd have to add some cinnamon. And I totally agree about the Jif and I also eat it with a spoon for a snack, kept the jar and a spoon next to my bed, lol!
Turns out, a phone can survive a brief blast of microwaves!
I'd say based on how microwave ovens work there is a decent chance near 0 microwaves hit his phone during that split second of being in there.
Without going into detail(because I'm really not an expert on it) the microwaves are just haphazardly sent randomly in the oven, and there are spots that don't get much if any action, that's a large reason behind the turntable(so your food moves around and doesn't sit in a hot/cold spot for the entire cooking process).
@@Banzors Oh that would make sense. And once a single bit of microwave hits anything liquid, it'll get absorbed (because that's the point), which means that big bowl of liquid in the middle could have protected the phone for the short amount of time.
@@Banzors Also the magnetron probably hadn't kicked in yet (they work in cycles).
they would need to given that's how they receive their signals (right?)
I thought fudge meant chocolate. it actually means "a soft candy made from sugar, butter, and milk or cream.". TIL.
Peanutbutter Chocolate fudge was my grandmother's holiday thing to make and the only thing my dad voluntarily cooked during the year. 💖
the ribbon fudge recipe off the marshmallow jar is our traditional family recipe for the best peanut butter and chocolate fudge.
That sounds good with a graham cracker base
@@kirstenharper5246 my aunt used to make the most amaaaaaazing peanut butter fudge every Christmas. When I got old enough to be interested in cooking I asked her if she'd give me the recipe."Oh, Honey," she said, " It's right on the back of the jar of fluff!"
Thanks for the love and support my Great fan ❤️❤️
This is my second account here and it my pleasure to meet you here ..... I will like to hear from you if you don’t mind sweetie ❤️❤️❤️

When I was going through a candy-making phase when I was younger, this was actually one of my favorite recipes to make! *Always got compliments!
I haven't had peanut butter fudge in 17 years. This might be the year.
Just say it was due to COVID: sugar and peanut butter are ALWAYS good for trauma😅
It's 2020 have the fudge! Have all the fudge you want. You (as well as the rest of the world) deserve fudge!
Used to make some with my mom using velveeta cheese.
@@eldonerc2524 With velveeta? Did it have more of a cheesy flavor or could you not even tell it was in there?
fudge doesn't make it to the fridge in my house
“No cellphones were injured in this episode” Oh bother...
If the oil separates JUST STIR IT BACK IN...DUH... LIKE SERIOUSLY ALTON??
We need a QQ withdrawals group, I know I'm not the only one that misses hanging out with you and Elizabeth (and dogos)
I know right? I kind of feel like we have lost something. 2020 has been viscous and cruel to everyone. To be fair, I’m a massive Good Eats fan but I can’t help but feel sad seeing these. To be fair also, it’s his choice on what he wants to put into the world and we as fans aren’t privy to stuff that he doesn’t want to share or can’t share. I guess sometimes we all do stuff we’d rather not do sometimes. I’ll always be a fan but I’m a little sad though. Wishing the best for them whatever they decide to do,
What happened to them?? They said they wanted to continue as long as they still had an audience. I would have thought that the they would put out a 30 second video saying they weren't going to continue or they will be back at the beginning of the year or something! Hmmm hope everyone's ok.
🥺
Yeah! I was super glad to see Elizabeth peep around the fridge door!!
I miss Elizabeth and him together. It was wonderful while QQ lasted. Womderful.
Fingers crossed they're simply on a vaccine vacation
Since watching this, I've made 4 batches!!! Most recently I tweaked it SIGNIFICANTLY! I added 1/4 cup cream cheese (during microwaving stage), 1/4 cup cocoa, 1/4 cup instant espresso, and instead of vanilla extract, I used caramel extract (after microwaving, before powdered sugar). It's BONKERS. You may need to add a bit more powdered sugar if your batch appears a bit thin during the final stir. Different brands of peanut butter, cream cheese, etc. Might offer different results. Just be ready in advance so you can fix it while it's still hot.
I'm going to try this!
If you needed to half the recipe, how would you alter the microwave time?
@@zjackson85 your question isn’t clear…
Sorry I will try to clarify. I am going to make this for my wife’s birthday tomorrow. I only have enough of the ingredients to cut the recipe in half. (Half cup of pb, I stick of butter etc) how much would you think I need to reduce the cooking time in the microwave?
@@zjackson85 if you use exactly half of the ingredients, the cook time will need to be reduced as to not scorch the ingredients. I’d assume 30-45 seconds less at each stage but a lower powered microwave may not need that much caution. As long as it’s bubbling and not smelling burnt you should be hood!
I love it!!! Great to see you again Alton! Hope we get to see you and Elizabeth on QK soon!!!
I just re-loaded my AB salt hang out from back in the day. Had it for decades. Thanks AB
I love Alton!!! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful wife♥️☃️
"Don't use something fancy like Kerrygold".
I'm Irish, and was until now unaware there was anything else.
Absolute mad lad microwaves his phone just for a meme haha I love it
You did not say "remove SUPER carefully" and I burnt my hands. Now I'm going to look into suing you.
I remember watching you make this when I was a kid on tv. I made it for my family! It was one of my first completely independent cooking experiments. It worked out great! This stuff is such great memories!
If you buy a "can" of salted caramel icing, melt it 20 sec in the microwave and pour it over the top, it would be better!
As always, Alton Brown, the devilishly genius master. You have been and likely will always be my culinary patron saint. Saint Alton Brown, teacher of the kitchen mastery.
Can less confectionary sugar be used for this recipe? I have tried Peanut Butter Fudge with that much sugar and it about had me jumping out of my shoes? Just wondering if one or two cups would do for this recipe? Thanks
Hi,we miss you two ! I've made a version of this for about 30 years. I think mine has more sugar but, I spread in a quarter sheet pan so about half as thick, chill, pour melted chocolate (I like dark) to cover, then Quickly sprinkle chopped peanuts. It ends up tasting like a peanut butter cup. Of course you can get fancy from there. The chocolate will crack when cut (I'm sure Alton would know what to add to fix that), so it doesn't make squares but people seem to like to be able to pick a big ol' hunk or small. Thats my favorite part, watching them turn into little kids, their eyes get big and them they go for a big piece ! I serve on a big plate, or for gifts I use pretty shirt box lined of course. Friends ask for it for birthdays and pot lucks, makes me feel good when you walk in and everyone is eyeing you for a shirt box ! AND best part is its super easy, fun, I always have ingredients in the house, and its pretty quick too.
This really took me on a journey! Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Hiya! Tempering the chocolate or letting the whole thing warm up a smidge before cutting it might help!
It's so much easier doing powdered sugar by weight instead of cups! Also he's not kidding when he says a 4 quart bowl, I tried using a smaller one and mixture bubbled up and melted the plastic wrap.
Well, now I know what I'm doing today. Merry Christmas :)
So I watched my wife and sister-in-law fail at making a more complex peanut butter fudge yesterday. I just whipped this together while they slept. I'm sure they'll be pissed until they realize we have peanut butter fudge to eat.
Love the enthusiasm - I can totally see Alton working for a Food Network type caliber network/channel in the future. Keep your youtube up.
Lol do you not know?
Yeaaahh I could see him working for an up and coming small network in their early days.
Totally, and have you seen that Adam Savage guy? He would totally rock a show on Discovery Channel or something.
Someday..maybe someday
I really hope this is a joke hahaha
Soooo what if I live in Ireland and the fancy stuff Kerrygold is our normal grocery store butter? 😢
I hope I'm second and I'm patiently waiting for a quarantine kitchen to come back happy holidays to you and the lovely Elizabeth and your two woo woo
“I’m not saying this is healthy” bud you started the recipe with 2 whole sticks of butter. After that, anyone who’s stuck around is on board with eating non healthy foods.
6:26 You only did 7 cuts, and 7 cuts is correct! You can count them at 6:42.
You start with one large chunk and each time you cut you have +1 chunk, so to get 8 strips you cut 7 times. Same logic applies when you cross-cut each strip.
I spent the rest of the video trying to make sure I wasn't imagining that it should be 7 cuts, thanks for the sanity check. 👍🏼
That is rounding error as you cant fit that many into the container :P
Came down hoping to find this comment so I wouldn't have to be "that guy". Thanks for taking the hit!
S the amount of powder sugar needed? I always use less than half of sugar in recipes but im wondering what the minimal amount needed to get it to set up. Going to risk 1/2 the amount unless someone else out there has tried it😊
Merry, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Alton and Elizabeth!
I have a friend who makes this with Velveeta cheese. I'm sharing this info in hopes it makes Alton cringe as much as it does me. 😂
