Fake fudge

My sweet tooth has been after me lately, so tonight I created fake fudge:

Place one heaping spoonful of peanut butter in a small bowl.

Sprinkle liberally with cocoa powder.

Stir in a little maple syrup or your favorite sweetener.

The texture will be about the same as the peanut butter or a little stiffer, but not as stiff as real fudge. Still, it’s a nice sweet mouthful for very little work.

Even less work — just combine peanut butter and chocolate chips. More like cookie dough than fudge; very good.
