  1. Locate a half-full jar of marshmallow cream in the back of your pantry. If you have only a full far, ask your wife to make a half batch of fudge.<\/li>\n
  2. Put said jar of marshmallow cream in the microwave. Nuke for 15-20 seconds, depending on your clean-up capabilities.<\/li>\n
  3. Into the bubbling mass of marshmallow cream drop a few of your choice of chocolate morsels (Dove dark chocolate hearts work well)<\/li>\n
  4. Eat resulting concoction with spoon.<\/li>\n
  5. Watch two episodes of Oprah to deal with resulting guilt.<\/li>\n
  6. Come up with an explanation for the remaining mess in the jar of marshmallow cream. (Note: The more perceptive among you will immediately recognize how to avoid having to deal with this issue. But that solution will cost you another three Oprah eps.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A popular variation on this recipe is to put the chocolate in before nuking the mixture. Your decision to do this will depend on whether you prefer your chocolate al dente<\/em> (an Italian cooking term meaning “crunchy”). <\/p>\n
