Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this fudge. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

  • chocolate, good quality (you can use milk chocolate, dark, or semi-sweet!)
  • smooth peanut butter
  • sweetened condensed milk
  • vanilla extract
  • salted peanuts

And there’s your 5 simple ingredients! I bet you have most of them already, right? 🙂

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!

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

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.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge is:

  • so quick and easy to make
  • deliciously soft and creamy
  • loaded with chocolate and peanut butter flavour
  • perfect for sharing and gift-giving

How long will this fudge last? This fudge can be stored, in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week, or in the fridge for 2 – 3 weeks.

Can I freeze this fudge? Yes, it also freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

I really want to make these! Q: can I use heavy cream instead of sweetened condensed milk?

Hi Chaya! I'm afraid not, sorry. If needed, there are plenty of homemade sweetened condensed milk recipes on Google :)
