Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate syrup in a mixing bowl.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure your whipping cream is cold before mixing, and don't overbeat it to avoid a grainy finish. If you can't find peanut butter chips, you can substitute with chopped peanut butter cups for added texture. Also, consider using dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. This fudge is similar to the indulgent chocolate in Sherry Pumpkin Chiffon Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for a delightful treat that pairs beautifully with coffee or a glass of milk. For a fun presentation, serve it alongside Snowball Cookies(Shortbread Nuggets) or with fresh berries for a pop of color. This rich dessert is perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a sweet ending to a meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. To enjoy, simply let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Avoid microwaving to reheat, as it can change the texture; instead, let it warm up naturally for the best results.
