I know it sounds like a new music sensation that's sweeping the nation, but Hot Fudge Salsa is actually a recipe I found in Gentlemen, Start Your Ovens, by Tucker Shaw (Shaw also wrote Everything I Ate, a book where he photographed and wrote about every single meal he had for a year). It has "salsa" in the title, but this involves ice cream, chocolate, and peanuts. Full recipe after the jump.Posts with tag semi-sweet chocolate

1/2 cup peanut butter
4 squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate
8 cups Honeycomb corn and oat cereal
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
