I found that if you use milk instead of water, it helps the mixture a lot. Also, don't use all the sugar. I'd make it with a little less. If you're using an 800W microwave then I suggest you put it on for a little longer. Maybe 3-4 minutes.

Totally hit the spot! I halved the recipe for me and made the full recipe for DH. Topped with lite cool whip. I did add a wee pinch of salt. I think next time I'll use a little less sugar. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I make this often, and also use canola oil. I sometimes mix in some mini marshmallows after it's done. This recipe can also be halved if you just want to little sweet treat (only microwave for 30 seconds if you halve it). Yumm!

I used Truvia instead of sugar, and added in a tbsp of Better 'N Peanut Butter. It was just what I needed!!
