Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Layered Fudge makes the perfect sweet treat
Fudge is one of my favorite things to make over the holidays to give to family and friends.  You can change up the flavors with different flavored chocolate and toss on some fun add-ins to make it your own.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Layered Fudge is actually really easy to make.

You can either use your stovetop with the double-boiler method or in your microwave.  Just chill the chocolate layer in the fridge while you make the peanut butter layer and spread everything smoothly with an offset spatula.

Chocolate and peanut butter make the best combination and with this easy layered fudge, you won’t have to choose between the two.  My family loves it whenever I make fudge for gifts.  It means they get to have the odd pieces that I cut when I’m trying to make it pretty.

It all tastes delicious no matter what piece you get 🙂

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

1 (14) ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peanut Butter Layer

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Line an 8" X 8" pan with parchment paper or foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray
  2. Chocolate Layer - Combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate and butter in a medium size glass bowl and heat on the stovetop over a double boiler or in the microwave for 90 seconds. Stir to combine and heat another 15 seconds if needed. Stir until smooth. Spread the fudge mixture to the pan and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Place in the fridge to chill.

  3. Meanwhile, make the Peanut Butter Layer - In a heatproof bowl on the stove or in the microwave, melt peanut butter, butter and vanilla. Stir to combine, it should come together very quickly and be smooth and creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Gently stir to combine thoroughly. Spread the peanut butter fudge mixture to the pan and spread evenly over the chocolate layer with an offset spatula.
  4. Let cool on the counter for at least 4 hours before cutting, or chill in the refrigerator. Slice into bite size servings and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
