Chocolate Wafers with Peanut Butter Fudge, #SeriousSandwich

It's been said before, but it's so true ~ two great tastes that taste great together. Peanut butter and chocolate, a pair of ingredients pretty good on their own, are dynamite together.

These chocolate wafers with peanut butter fudge are the most decadent treat I've baked lately. Soft, dark chocolate cookies with a simple peanut butter fudge filling of marshmallow creme, pb, 10X sugar, and a shot of vanilla. I wish I could give you the entire recipe, but for that you'll just have to pick up a copy of Emeril Lagasse's newest cookbook, "Emeril's Kicked-Up Sandwiches" (Morrow, $24.99).

Among the 120 recipes in the book are 10 sweet recipes, goodies like Date-Walnut Pockets,  Cafe Au Lait Macarons with White Chocolate Ganache, and Red Velvet Whoopie Pies. Just in time for Christmas baking, to be sure, and I already have requests to bake these chocolate-pb wafers for Christmas.
