This recipe is so easy it will make you wonder why you ever fussed over fudge on the stove. Not only is it easy, it’s fast, it’s delicious, it’s s’mores and it has Nutella in it. I bet I have your attention now right! Seriously addictive fudge!
Y’all know who Alton Brown is right? If you don’t, well, I don’t know how to respond to that. Alton is a genius with food science. Alton is so smart he kind of creeps me out a little bit. I’d totally get over it if I ever met him though. I’d be so busy bombarding him with science questions that I’d forget to he creeps me out because he’s a bajillion times smarter than most people.
Alton is the genius behind Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge. It’s spectacular and easy. It’s also wicked tasty and addictive. I made some Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge not long ago and was so pleased with how it turned out that I decided I needed to give it another whirl. Since National S’mores Day is upon us I decided to try making a S’mores version.
It was spectacular. So I’ve officially put a halt to my feelings about Alton and the fact that he creeps me out with his giant brain. I’ve determined his giant brain is good for the world. And my belly!
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup nutella
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
- 1/2 to 1 cup tiny marshmallow bits
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crumbs
-
Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment, leaving a little hanging over so you can lift the fudge out of the pan easily later.
-
In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter with the nutella for about 2 minutes, depending on your microwave.
-
Take it out and stir it.
-
Pop it back in the microwave and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. You want it creamy but not hardening. Take out and stir.
-
Mix in the vanilla, confectioners sugar and tiny marshmallow bits. Mix well.
-
Spoon into pan and spread evenly.
-
Sprinkle crushed graham crumbs on top.
-
Pop it in the fridge for about an hour or two to set up.
-
Remove and cut into squares.
-
Serve with a big old "I love S'mores" smile.
This is the bomb. You need to try this immediately. Then send me some as a thank you for changing your whole world. You’re welcome.
Oh, and thank Alton and his giant brain too. I bet he’d love for you to make him some fudge. And send it to him. In a non creepy way of course!

I think your feed is having problems – I just got the S’more dip email, and a couple of hours later this one – which has apparently posted several days before the dip! Anyway, all those microwave fudges are great! We keep playing with them – the possibilities are endless.

Hey John. I actually was behind on posting due to dealing with the new site so I backdated one I had floating around. I wondered whether it would seem odd but I wanted to get it up before I forgot. Then I felt bad for flooding emails. Lol.
There may be 2 a day for a few days next week too. I’m doing ice cream week but also some other stuff. So much for slowing down right. Lol!

Plan on making this soon. I know what you mean about Alton Brown, as he kind of creeps me out too. But he is very smart!!

You do my heart good to see these recipes. I have a special place for marshmallows and of course chocolate.

I love Alton Brown. I’m not sure why I haven’t been making his peanut butter fudge, as I’m quite sure he’d want me to. Maybe you should tell him about your s’mores version. Maybe you’d become friends, and his giant {awesome} brain wouldn’t creep you out anymore.
And then you could bring him to live with me.

I love Alton. Sometimes though my husband thinks he is Alton and it is kind of annoying. I don’t tell him that though.
