Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
The family and friends reviews for this Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe are excellent! You cannot possibly get an easier fudge recipe either. Heat up the butter and peanut butter, put it in the cocoa and powdered sugar, add some vanilla, and boom-ba, you are done! This is one fast, and simple to make fudge recipe.
Tips and variations for making this Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe:
● You can place the mixture into a 7″ springform pan that was lightly sprayed. The fudge is pretty solid once combined, so I patted it in place with my fingertips. I refrigerated overnight. I find a springform pan to be a LOT easier to use when making fudge. Spray the sides lightly, no muss, no fuss removing the fudge for eating.
● If you are concerned about white spots in the fudge from the powdered sugar (sometimes, it does not incorporate as well as you might hope), sift the powdered sugar, it will help.
● For ease of removal, place one sheet of parchment paper across the pan. Place the second sheet of parchment paper across the first sheet (to form an +). That way you can simply lift the fudge out of the pan.
● It is best if the rest of the ingredients are not altered as they specifically complement or counteract each other in the perfect manner. I would not be able to offer any other suggestions as substitutions that would work in the same manner.
● Fudge can be stored in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. It will last up to two weeks in either situation. Fudge should never be stored at room temperature due to its ingredients.
