I made this tonight and when I melted the peanut butter chips (less then a minute) they became stiff - I think they were to hot and I could not get them to melt. Did any one else have this problem?

In the past when melting certain chocolate & candy wafers in the Microwave, I have used the defrost cycle & it worked every time. So I did it with this & it came out perfect. I also stirred it often as well...HTH
 
Thanks for the replies I did use the reese's chips - next time I will try at a lower power level. It was still edible and so sweet!!!
 
Just wondering out loud, lol, but do you think for example for an express show, you could make this the night before or during day and put on SA Round Platter and put in oven at 200 for a couple minutes??

Just wondering what you all think??

If you do have any leftovers (I know it is rare) throw a slice in the microwave on HIGH for 10 seconds. It takes like it just came out of the oven.
