This is simply totally outstanding! My whole family were going crazy - especially when DH exclaimed that 'it might be the best thing I ever tasted' and proceeded to walk off with the bowI which led to our youngest hanging on to his shirt to stop him :) HAHA. I cut the recipe back by half and used a 300 ml can of sweetened cond milk which is around 10 oz, in effect cutting the sweetened cond milk back by 1/3. Even half a recipe gave lots of yummy sauce that will stretch far, unless DH gets his hands on it. It seriously took only 3 min to make. This is going straight into my 'Best of 2011' file.

We loved this recipe. The peanut butter made it very yummy. Made for holiday tag.

This recipe as is, tastes more like a sugary syrup. I can't help but wonder if the 28 oz. of sweetened condensed milk is a typo. I reduced the sweetened condensed milk to a 14 oz. can and it was a lot better, but I still could hardly taste the peanut butter and it needed a stronger chocolate flavor. I added 2 more ounces of chocolate and another tablespoon of peanut butter and it was wonderful.
