Easy peanut butter chocolate fudge recipe
Chocolate and peanut butter is one of the best combinations. This fudge is a no-bake recipe and needs only 10 minutes of preparation. It is made using peanut butter, chocolate, and condensed milk. You can make this in the microwave or double boiler method. Traditional old-fashioned peanut butter may be tricky to make at home. With this method, no oven or fancy equipment like a candy thermometer is required. Just use an 8 * 8-inch square pan or a 7-inch rectangle pan.

Ingredients
Chocolate: Use chips, morsels, or compounds, and feel free to use semi-sweet, white, milk, or dark chocolate. The taste will vary accordingly. Condensed milk: Gives a rich and creamy texture and holds everything together. Peanut butter: Creamy or chunky both will work. I have used smooth, creamy peanut butter. Use store-bought ones. Natural peanut butter may not work.
Variations
Love crunch in fudge? Toast and add walnuts, pecans, cashews, almonds or pistachios Love dried fruits? Then, add cranberries or raisins. You can also add 1 cup of mini marshmallows for more firmer texture. To make it special, you can top it with salted peanuts, chocolate chips, or peanut butter cups. For rocky road fudge, press mini marshmallows and chopped nuts.
Step-by-step instructions
Line an 8-inch square pan or 7-inch rectangle pan with parchment paper and keep it aside.
Tips
Use a sharp knife to get clean fudge slices. Let the fudge set in refrigerator for atleast 2 to 3 hours before slicing. Cold fudge is easy to slice to the desired shape and size. These fudge are one of the best recipes to add to your Christmas dessert platter or charcuterie board. Do not substitute condensed milk with evaporated milk or heavy cream. Your fudge won’t set. One of the best make-ahead dessert recipes for the holiday season. The thickness of the fudge will vary based on the size of the pan used.
Store and freeze
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two weeks. You can also freeze them in a ziplock bag and store them for 2 to 3 months. Thaw and serve.
