Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

December 26, 2013

Diets start on Monday….. Or with the quickly approaching new year, New Year’s Day!

This post is sponsored by Kraft.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday with friends and loved ones! I enjoyed a much needed break and spent some lovely time with my immediate family (all three siblings and their families made it home this year!!!)!

I am sure you all are ready for the holiday detox and enjoyed (and over indulged) in your fair share of holiday treats, but I have one more treat for you before those pesky New Year’s diets begin.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, is my go to fudge recipe. I have seriously been making and perfecting this recipe since I first started cooking on my own in about 6th or 7th grade. While I have tried many fudge recipes in the years since, I love this recipe since it uses basic pantry staples (no marshmallow fluff, sweetened condensed milk, etc. that you may not always keep on hand) and it can be made in less than 10 minutes! Plus, if making candy and fudge intimidates you, due to scary candy thermometers and burning sugar, this recipe is made for you, since it is made in the microwave!

If you have any additional holiday gatherings over the next few days, say a New Year’s Eve party, whip up this fudge and indulge just a few days more!

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 3 minutes Wait Time: 2+ hours Makes: 1 (8×8-inch) pan

1 ½ cups confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
¼ cup milk
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, cubed
2 cups milk chocolate chips
¾ cup Planters® Creamy Peanut Butter
¾ teaspoon vanilla

Line an 8×8-inch pan with foil, making sure enough foil fits inside and up over the edges of pan.

In a microwave safe bowl, whisk together sugar, milk and salt. Continue whisking until everything is mixed together, making sure there are no lumps.

Add butter cubes to sugar mixture. Microwave on HIGH for one minute. Remove from microwave and stir. Return to microwave and microwave again on HIGH for one minute. Stir and repeat microwave/stirring process for one more time.

Add chocolate chips, peanut butter and vanilla to melted butter mixture. Stir until blended and fully incorporated. Pour fudge into prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula, spread fudge into an even layer in pan.

Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours.

Using overhanging pieces of foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil and cut fudge into bite size (1-inch) pieces. Serve immediately. Store left over fudge in refrigerator.

And if the pre-holiday spending has your wallet experiencing the post holiday blues, Kraft has you covered with “A Little Help for the Holidays!”

From shopping for gifts to planning family dinners, it’s hard to keep up with all your holiday to-do’s. This year, Kraft is helping out with great weeknight meals and entertaining ideas to make the season a little bit easier. Plus, Kraft is offering up to $20 in coupons, redeemable exclusively at Target, to make food shopping easier and to help you have a happy holiday season.
