How To Make The Best Peanut Butter Fudge

By Michelle Young


When it comes to home-made sweets, fudge is one of those desserts everybody loves. You just cannot go wrong if you combine all favorite ingredients such as chocolate or nuts. Peanut butter fudge is probably one of the most loved of all, thanks to the fact this wonderful spread can be successfully combined with just about anything, with guaranteed results.

Some recipes might be complicated or might require more time to prepare. Here are a few of really easy recipes and ideas you may use. The trick is to use good quality ingredients, both when it comes to chocolate and when it comes to peanut butter. Simple, but really tasty desserts can be made in a few minutes.

The first thing to do is to make the base. This is really easy, simply combine one can condensed milk, sweetened or not, and three cups chocolate chips, dark, milk or white, it's up to you. Place these ingredients in the bowl and melt them together in the microwave. Stir, add your selected type of peanut butter, two or three spoons, and stir until smooth.

Before that, you should prepare a pan, and line it with parchment paper or foil. Simply pour this mixture in, spread it and smooth the top surface, and place everything in your fridge for a couple of hours. After that, you can cut it into cubes or some other shapes, sprinkle with decorative pieces or crushed peanuts, and you are ready to enjoy.

This basic mixture made of chips, condensed milk and peanut butter is easy to enrich with just about anything tasty you can think of. Add chopped nuts, small pieces of jelly candies, crushed peanuts, soft caramel or even dried fruits. Sometimes is better to sprinkle the mixture with nuts when it is still warm, so they could stick to it better.

When it comes to a combination of peanut butter and chocolate, caramel is something that will make this combination simply irresistible. Caramel is simple to prepare. Take two cups sugar and leave it in the pan over low heat until caramelized. Do not stir, just shake your pan occasionally. Once everything gets that wonderful caramel color, add one can condensed milk in and stir. When caramel is melted, it's done.

Once you make your caramel, you can simply add two cups melted chocolate in and stir until smooth. Add three large spoons peanut butter and one cup chopped peanuts in. Pour this mixture into the prepared and lined pan, place everything in the fridge and try to be patient until it hardens enough so you could cut it into small, delicious cubes.

Instead of condensed milk, you can use full cream, and add some butter in as well. In this case, you might need to add some sugar as well, because condensed milk is usually sweeter. When you use dark choco chips, they might also be less sweet, so keep it in mind when combining your ingredients. In any case, you will enjoy preparing and consuming these lovely cubes of pure pleasure.
