Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

peanut butter chocolate fudge - trust in kim

This one is a take on my usual chocolate fudge recipe.  It’s so easy to make, and if you love the chocolate-peanut butter combo, you’re gonna love this.

What you need:

3 cups sugar

3/4 cup butter

2/3 cup evaporated milk

175 grams (6oz) semisweet chocolate chips

175 grams (6oz) peanut butter chips

1 7 0z jar marshmallow cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

What you do:

1.  Coat a 9×13 inch pan with butter.

2.  Place the sugar, butter and evaporated milk in a large saucepan.  Bring to a rolling boil, then cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring.

3.  Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the marshmallow and vanilla.

4. Divide the mixture in half, placing one half in a bowl.  Stir the chocolate chips into one half, and the peanut butter chips into the other half.

5. Pour the chocolate part into the bottom of the pan and smooth it out a bit with a spatula, then add the peanut butter mixture and spread it out over the top.

6.  Allow to cool, and then refrigerate.  Take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes before you cut it.  I like to cut it into pretty small squares because it’s pretty sweet.  And people can always have more than one piece.

Mom’s Creamy Chocolate Fudge

This creamy fudge is one of the recipes my mom made at Christmas every year when we were growing up.  It’s a crowd pleaser and it’s really easy to whip up a big pan of it.   And to me it tastes like Christmas!

What you need:

3 cups sugar

3/4 cup butter

2/3 cup evaporated milk

350 grams (12oz) semisweet chocolate chips

1 7 0z jar marshmallow cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

(you could also add a cup of chopped nuts)

What you do:

1.  Coat a 9×13 inch pan with butter.

2.  Place the sugar, butter and evaporated milk in a large saucepan.  Bring to a rolling boil, then cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring.

3.  Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the chocolate chips, marshmallow and vanilla.  Pour it into the pan and let it cool.

The fudge will not be too hard to cut, but it cuts more neatly if you heat up your knife in hot water between each cut.
