Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Ingredients

chocolate peanut butter fudge raw ingredients that are labeled

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.

Substitutions And Additions

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.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

If you are adding extra ingredients to your peanut butter and chocolate fudge, you could add them here so that they are layered in the middle of the fudge.

STEP FIVE: Drop the remaining ½ cup of peanut butter in ½ to 1 teaspoon spoonfuls over the fudge mixture.
