Table of Contents
There is something marvelous about combining chocolate and peanut butter, and this easy chocolate peanut butter fudge will prove it. With just two simple ingredients, you can whip up this creamy and decadent treat in minutes.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Ingredients
This chocolate peanut butter fudge recipe is a blend of rich chocolate frosting and creamy peanut butter.
The chocolate frosting provides a sweet and velvety base, while the peanut butter adds nutty richness and a creamy texture.
You’ll need:
- 16-ounce can of chocolate frosting
- 2½ cups of creamy peanut butter, divided into 2 cups and ½ cup
PRO TIP:
Use processed peanut butter instead of an all natural peanut butter – it will blend more smoothly with the frosting.

FROSTING: Use any kind of canned chocolate frosting for your peanut butter chocolate fudge.
MIX-INS: Add nuts, fruit, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, or whatever other ingredients you’d like into the mixture.
PEANUT BUTTER: Add more texture to your sweet chocolate fudge by using crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.
