Easiest Dessert to make!

Fudge is one of the easiest treats to make. It tastes amazing and is always a hit.

This year I brought this Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge to our Family Christmas party, and it was a hit.

No need telling everyone I made it all with little work and absolutely no baking, heck I didn’t use the stove at all.

How to make Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge:

Start by melting your ingredients for the peanut butter layer in the microwave. Once it is melted add in the powdered sugar and mix well.

Place in the bottom of your dish that is lined with parchment paper, and then chill in the refrigerator.

While that is chilling in the refrigerator, prepare the chocolate layer. Add those ingredients to a microwave safe bowl and melt for the chocolate layer.

Spread the chocolate layer on top of the peanut butter layer and then chill in the fridge for 4 hours. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Ingredient Notes:

This recipe is simple to make. You just need to make a layer of peanut butter and then top it with the chocolate. Here is what you need for the recipe.

Peanut Butter Fudge Layer:

• Butter – I used unsalted butter for this recipe.
• Creamy Peanut Butter – use any brand you like. Crunchy does not work as well.
• Vanilla extract – adds a nice flavor to the peanut butter.
• Powdered Sugar – sweetens it up.

Chocolate Fudge Layer:

• Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips – melts perfectly.
• Butter – I used unsalted butter for this recipe.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk – sweetens the chocolate chips perfectly.

Directions:

Step One: Start by adding the butter, peanut butter, vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl to prepare the peanut butter layer.

Microwave for 60-90 seconds. Then stir until well combined and smooth

Step Two: Add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.

Place in a prepared casserole dish (I lined my dish with parchment paper for easy removal).

Place in the fridge while you prepare your chocolate fudge.

Step Three: Combine chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk for the chocolate layer in a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring and place into back into the microwave until fully melted.

Remove dish from the fridge and pour on the chocolate layer.

Step Four: Allow chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Once chilled Cut into bite-size squares and serve.

Melting Tips

You could use the stovetop and melt the two layers separately in a pot but I took the easy way out and just popped it in the microwave for a few seconds.

If you are making this on the stovetop the directions wouldn’t change at all.

All you would change is mixing and melting in a saucepan, not a microwave-safe bowl.
