Old-Fashioned Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

This old-fashioned chocolate peanut butter fudge is a classic and so easy to make. Make ahead for holiday drop-ins or give away as a gift. It also freezes well.
Servings: 30 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used organic)
  • 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (I used organic)
  • 1/2 cup Peanut butter, creamy (I used organic)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Grass-fed butter
  • Pinch of Salt

Method
 

  1. Combine the chocolate chips, 3/4 of the sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp of the vanilla, salt and butter in a saucepan. Turn the heat to medium-low. Using a wooden spoon, stir frequently until the chocolate is melted. It should be nice and creamy. Add the vanilla and stir. Turn the heat off.
  2. Pour the chocolate mixture into a wax paper lined 8x8 pan, spreading evenly. Allow to sit.
  3. Next, combine the peanut butter, rest of the sweetened condensed milk and salt into a different saucepan.Heat on medium-low, stirring frequently, until nice and creamy. Add the remaining vanilla and stir.
  4. Spread the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate.
  5. Using a thin skewer or butter knife, start making swirls in the fudge. You are essentially combing the chocolate and peanut butter in a swirl pattern.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours until the fudge is hardened.

Notes

  • Be sure not to allow the chocolate chips to burn. Going with lower heat and stirring frequently will allow this not to happen.
  • It’s best to use an organic creamy peanut butter. Sometimes the natural ones can be a little gritty.
  • Use binder clips to hold down the wax paper.
  • If you want a thicker fudge, just double this recipe.
