Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge is a sweet chocolate fudge flavored with peanut butter, and it has added peanuts for a bit of crunch.
If you’re a lover of chocolate and peanut butter desserts, this might be the fudge for you. It’s a chocolate fudge recipe, but with the peanut butter mixed in– you will definitely taste that too. I added chopped peanuts to up the peanut butter theme. But you can totally leave out the peanuts if you’d just like a nice, creamy fudge.
Ingredients needed:
- white sugar
- evaporated milk
- creamy peanut butter
- mini marshmallows
- semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate
- unsalted peanuts (optional)
- vanilla extract
How to make Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
Line an 8x8x2 inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan; set aside.
Butter the sides of a 2 quart heavy saucepan. In the saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and peanut butter. Cook and stir over medium high heat until the mixture boils (about 10 minutes). Reduce the heat to medium, continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 6 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the marshmallows, chocolate, peanuts (if using) and vanilla; stir until the marshmallows and chocolate have melted and the mixture is evenly combined. Beat by hand for 1 minute.
Spread the fudge evenly into the prepared pan. Score into squares while still warm. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
When the fudge is firm, use foil to lift it out of the pan. Peel off the foil and cut the fudge into squares.
This is a great fudge to make for the holidays. Enjoy!
Pro Tips:
- If you are preparing this recipe as gluten-free, just be sure to use brands of peanut butter, marshmallows and chocolate that are known to be GF.
- If you’d like a thicker fudge, line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with foil and pour the fudge in there instead.
- You may wish to use chunky peanut butter if you’re omitting the peanuts.
