How To Make One Really Delicious 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.

Although there are different more or less complicated recipes for this wonderful dessert, some are really easy to make and don't require more than a few minutes. So, here you will find some of the simplest. It certainly doesn't mean that these recipes are not at least equally tasty, especially if you use high quality ingredients.

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.

You should previously prepare the pan, lining it with parchment paper, or maybe with some foil. Once you mix all ingredients together, pour them into the pan and spread. Leave it to cool for a while, and then put into the fridge for some time, until the mass is hard enough for you to cut it into the cubes, or any other shape you prefer. You may also sprinkle something on for decoration.

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.

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.

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.

There are numerous variations you will enjoy discovering. For example, when you use full cream instead of condensed milk, and add a little bit of butter in, you might be surprised how much smoother your dessert will be. Sometimes such recipe might require more chocolate to get hard enough, but the taste is unbelievable. Since condensed milk is usually more sweet, you might need to add some sugar in.
