A super easy chocolate thing you can handle even in your post-football funk. It only takes about 5 minutes of hands-on time, so you can get back to moping in darkened rooms, or whatever it is you’re up to.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 3/4 cup maple syrup

This was probably the first time I’ve ever bought real syrup, as opposed to the “pancake syrup” with 2% actual syrup in it.

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and microwave for one minute.

Stir for one minute, then microwave another 40 seconds. Stir for another minute, then microwave again as needed. Mine took about 2 minutes of actual microwaving – the chocolate continues to melt from its own heat as you stir.

Once evenly mixed, line a small dish with parchment paper. Pour in the mixture and gently smooth the top.

Refrigerate for several hours (at least 3) until hard.

Cut into pieces as desired, and enjoy.

Simple! Slightly more solid texture than normal fudge, but you wouldn’t really notice if you weren’t looking for it. The maple flavor is pretty minimal. All and all, grand if you like peanut butter and chocolate.
