How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
To make this fudge, simply add your chocolate and peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
Stir in the condensed milk, vanilla, and peanuts. The mixture will become quite thick. Spread the fudge out into an 8×8-inch square baking pan, and refrigerate for at least 2 – 4 hours.
Cut into squares, and share devour!

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

I really want to make these!
Q: can I use heavy cream instead of sweetened condensed milk?
Hi Chaya! I’m afraid not, it needs to be condensed milk.
You know anything with chocolate and peanut butter has my name all over it!! Love that you added those gorgeous crunchy peanuts straight into the fudge. I’m drooling!
