Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure the butter is softened before combining with the peanut butter and sugar. If you prefer a healthier option, consider using natural peanut butter or a nut butter alternative. You can also substitute graham crackers with crushed cookies for a different flavor profile. For a festive twist, add a pinch of sea salt or crushed nuts on top of the chocolate layer.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for an ideal portion size. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For an extra touch, consider serving it alongside a slice of Lemon Chiffon Cheesecake for a delightful dessert platter. This fudge is also great for gifting during holidays or special occasions.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, which will keep it fresh for up to two weeks. If you need to reheat, place it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften before cutting or serving.

What can I do if my fudge is too soft?
