Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Ingredients

You will need:

• 16 ounces chocolate frosting
• 2 ½ cups creamy peanut butter divided

PRO TIP: Use processed peanut butter instead of an all-natural peanut butter – it will blend more smoothly with the frosting.

Substitutions and Additions

FROSTING: Use any kind of canned chocolate frosting for your peanut butter chocolate fudge.

MIX-INS: Add nuts, fruit, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, or whatever other ingredients you’d like into the mixture. 

PEANUT BUTTER: Add more texture to your sweet chocolate fudge by using crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

STEP ONE: Line an 8×8-inch square glass baking dish with parchment paper.

STEP TWO: Place frosting and 2 cups of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.

STEP THREE: Heat frosting/peanut butter for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until melted and smooth to form the fudge mixture.

STEP FOUR: Spread about ⅓ of the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

PRO TIP: If you are adding extra ingredients to your peanut butter and chocolate fudge, you could add them here so that they are layered in the middle of the fudge.

STEP FIVE: Drop the remaining ½ cup of peanut butter in ½ to 1 teaspoon spoonfuls over the fudge mixture.

STEP SIX: Spread the remaining fudge mixture over the peanut butter drops. Place fudge in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until firm.

STEP SEVEN: Lift the fudge from the baking dish by the parchment paper and cut it into pieces.

PRO TIP: This delicious fudge gets pretty soft at room temperature so store fudge in the refrigerator.
