White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge – just four simple ingredients stand between you and pure chocolate-peanut-butter perfection.

During the holidays, the kids walk through the door asking what kind of fudge I whipped up that day. This one is a top favorite, especially since we’re all peanut butter lovers.

An advantage to making fudge is that you can store it in the freezer for later use. So I usually make a big batch and save some for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Recipe Inspiration

My friend Jules is a professionally trained pastry chef, and she makes the most amazing Christmas dessert plate I’ve ever seen. This recipe for White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge was inspired by her dessert tray.

Julie is an amazing cook–everything she makes is delicious. A few years ago, she made me this Sweet Potato Focaccia Bread and it has become our holiday tradition to make. Paired with leftover turkey, it’s so good.

Peanut butter fudge is a classic Christmas dessert that I look forward to every year. It’s so creamy and delicious, it literally melts in my mouth!

I went in search of a recipe that would rival my grandmother’s recipe, one that she never shared before she passed on, and while I may never reach her level fudge-making greatness, this recipe comes close.

My family and I love peanut butter, but we’re divided on whether we prefer chunky or creamy. For this White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, I went with creamy because it’s the best way to get that smooth, rich texture.

How to make White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge?

Prepare an 8 or 9-inch square pan with cooking oil, then line it with parchment paper. The paper should extend over the edges of the pan.

In a medium saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter over medium heat until just bubbly. This should take 7-9 minutes. Remember to stir constantly so that everything mixes evenly.

*NOTE – The milk and peanut butter will start to thin out a bit and bubble, which is how you’ll know it’s done.

Remove the heat and mix in the white chocolate chips and vanilla until it becomes a smooth mixture.

Spread into prepared pan, allow the fudge to cool to room temperature.

Once cooled cover with foil, and chill for 2 hours, then remove from the pan by lifting the parchment paper and cut into 20 squares.

The holiday season is for candies, cookies, and pies. You will want to make this White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge and bring on the delicious combination of white chocolate and peanut butter.
