I am positive I am not the original inventor of the Chocolate/Peanut Butter Swirl with Ice Cream on Top. But I am definitely the first person I know who has rustled up this delightful combo. As a decent human being, I feel it is my duty to share my discovery with you.

Plop a generous dollop of Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter into a microwave-safe bowl like so:

(Author's note: Hot fudge that must be softened in the jar does not blend properly and should be avoided if possible.)



Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it for 1.3 minutes on half power. If the peanut butter is not fully melted, heat for an additional twenty seconds.

Upon removing the bowl from the microwave, gently swirl the chocolate and peanut butter until it forms an attractive pinwheel:














Add three generous scoops of good quality Vanilla Ice Cream:


(Author's note: I have tried using el cheapo, off-brand ice cream and it does not get the job done. Go for the good stuff, you won't regret it.)






You are now ready to enjoy a bit of heaven right here on Earth.
