Ingredients
Instructions

- Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter.
- Stir until smooth and pour into a buttered pan.
- Allow to cool and set before cutting into pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure your sugar and cream mixture reaches the soft ball stage, which can be tested by dropping a small amount into cold water. If you want to reduce sweetness, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. You can also substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor profile. If you have leftovers, cut them into smaller pieces for easier storage.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fudge as a rich dessert on its own, or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. It also pairs beautifully with Alison Morse'S Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles for a refreshing contrast. Cut into small squares for a delightful treat at parties or as a sweet snack throughout the day.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you live in a hot climate, refrigerate it to prevent melting. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds if it becomes too hard, but be careful not to overheat as it can change the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the fudge is done cooking?
The fudge is done when it reaches the soft ball stage, typically between 234°F to 240°F on a candy thermometer. Alternatively, you can test by dropping a small amount into cold water; it should form a soft, pliable ball. If it’s too soft, cook it a bit longer.
