White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge – you’re only 4 ingredients away from chocolate & peanut butter perfection.

I have started my holiday baking with this White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, and I will let you in on a little secret: I am already on a fudge kick.

Fudge is one of my favorite desserts to make because it’s so easy and everyone loves it, even my husband who usually avoids sweets. Over the holidays my kids come home from school asking what kind of fudge I’ve made that day, and yesterday I made three different kinds! Fudge is definitely a family favorite in our house.

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.

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 White Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge was inspired by her desserts.

Julie is an amazing cook–everything she makes is Delicious and always turns out to be better than you could have ever expected. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said that in regard to her food. A few years ago, she made me this Sweet Potato Focaccia Bread dish for Thanksgiving, and it has become our holiday tradition go-to meal, as well as one of my all-time favorite fall foods. paired with leftover turkey, it’s heavenly.

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 savor every bite of fudge by cutting it into tiny pieces, making the deliciousness last longer. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

I went in search of a recipe that would rival my grandmother’s, and while I may never reach her level of greatness, this one comes pretty close.

I think my fudge will never taste as good as Julies because there is always someone making it for you. Am I right? My family said that it was just as good, but I disagree.

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.

Aiden believes that the cookie will be better with crunchy ingredients, so we’ll have to do a test between crunchy and creamy textures.

Ingredients

Sweetened condensed milk
Peanut butter – I used creamy
White chocolate melting chips – I use Ghirardelli
Vanilla extract

How do you 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, cover with foil, and cool. Chill for 2 hours, then remove from the pan by lifting the parchment paper.

Cut into 20 squares and serve!

How do you store fudge?

In an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last 1-2 weeks.

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.

Happy fudge season friends {or almost happy fudge season}. XOXO San
