At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!
Quick Rich Nutty Chocolate Fudge
With the holidays quickly approaching, its time to start making the delicious sweets and treats our family looks forward to around Christmas each year- as well as gifts we want to give out to friends, teachers, and my husband’s employees. While I love to make special treats to show how much my family and friends mean to me, I just don’t have a ton of time to make elaborate or incredibly time intensive gifts. This quick and easy peanut butter chocolate fudge makes a great gift- and it is so effortless to make!
I searched and searched for a chocolate and peanut butter fudge that doesn’t use peanut butter chips- and had a really hard time finding one- so my mom and I tweaked a peanut butter fudge recipe made with peanut butter to find the right mixture of sugar and butter to peanut butter that would firm up well and be easy to spread with traditional fudge.
If you love the taste of fudge- and peanut butter- these deliciously decadent treats will get you in the festive spirit in no time!

I was going to try the Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge but the instructions were confusing. In one pan you combine chocolate chips and condensed milk. In another pan, add peanut butter and butter and melt both pans. Do you bring to a boil and cook so many minutes or just melt, add sugar and mix? When do you add the vanilla extract? Would you please validly?
Thanks for pointing out there was an issue. I have updated the recipe to clarify!
