Reese’s Pieces Fudge
One of my earliest memories of eating candy involves chocolate fudge. My Mom used to make it as an occasional weekend treat.
After mixing and heating the ingredients, she would drip a little into a cold cup of water to see if it had reached the just-right softball stage.
After her inspection, I got to scoop it out with my fingertip, which I would promptly pop into my mouth, always hoping she would have to check it again right away.
When Mom deemed it was ready, she would pour the dark chocolate ribbons in a heap on a well-buttered plate; the confection would miraculously flatten out into a smooth ocean of perfectly textured fudge.
Oh, the anticipation!
As an adult, I’ve continued my love for fudge with even more amazing flavor combinations and ways to make it. You can’t go wrong with this sweet and tasty treat!

One thing I love about this rich, homemade recipe is how quick and simple it is to make. It takes only a few minutes to combine and mix the ingredients, making it a great option on busy days or when you’re prepping for a party.
Plus, my boys love it because of the bright colors and peanut butter crunch thanks to the Reese’s Pieces inside.
We eat this favorite all year-round but it’s great to serve during the fall thanks to the autumn colors. It’s a great addition to any Halloween dessert table.
