How To Make One Really Delicious Peanut Butter Fudge

By Michelle Young


When you make your sweets at home, you can use your favorite ingredients, and you always know what to expect. Some people love some things, while others prefer something else, but everybody loves a good fudge. Peanut butter fudge tastes great in all combinations, especially when combined with really good chocolate, and that's why you simply cannot make a mistake with this lovely dessert.

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.

Once you have this basic mixture, it's really easy to add whatever you want to make it all more interesting. For example, you can add butter, chopped nuts, vanilla, jelly bonbons, or a small spoon of instant coffee. This way you can get totally different desserts, and it will be interesting to play with tastes. It might be a good idea to sprinkle this mixture as soon as you spread it onto your pan.

Caramel is simply perfect addition to one good choco peanut fudge. Making your own caramel is easy, so give it a try. Put two cups custard sugar in some pan and place it over low heat to caramelize. It's important not to stir until caramelized, but you should shake the pan every once in a while, just to make sure everything is equally caramelized. Now it is the time to add a can of condensed milk and to stir until done.

Now, when you have your caramel, add approximately two cups melted chocolate in. Use dark or white choco chips if you want, or simply cut and melt your favorite milk chocolate. After that, add two large spoons of your best peanut spread in and stir until smooth. Add chopped or crushed peanuts if you want, place into prepared pan, cool in the fridge to become hard enough to cut, and enjoy.

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.
