Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Fudge
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Fudge comes together without a candy thermometer — melted chocolate and creamy peanut butter are swirled together before the fudge sets in the fridge. The two-tone pattern makes each square look as good as it tastes. It takes about 15 minutes of hands-on work, plus 2 hours of chilling.
Equipment
- 8x8 inch square baking pan
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Butter knife
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips quality choice for a smoother finish
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk one can
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure vanilla for best result
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter natural variety preferred
Instructions
- Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula.
- Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make it easier to spread.
- Drop spoonfuls of the warm peanut butter over the chocolate mixture in the pan. Use a butter knife to swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate, creating a marbled effect.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
- Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- To enhance the flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the fudge for a sweet-salty balance.
- For a nutty crunch, top with crushed peanuts before refrigerating.
