Chocolate and peanut butter - while perfect on their own - are simply heavenly combined. This is not a new revelation (my last post focussed on this same perfect duo). However it presents many opportunities that I am loathe to waste!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge
100g butter
350g Whittakers Dark Cacao chocolate
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups icing sugar, sifted
1 cup of peanut butter melts and candies e.g. Reeses Pieces
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the peanut butter (still heating) and stir until combined.
I melted the butter on its own to start |
350 beautiful, tasty grams... |
Remove from heat and add the icing sugar half a cup at a time, tasting each time until preferred sweetness is reached.
Stir in chopped peanut butter melts and candies if using. Pour mixture into a 9 inch by 13 inch rectangular tin, lined with baking paper. Refrigerate until set then cut into pieces and serve at room temperature.
You can use any peanut butter candies or melts, or even other flavours if you prefer |

Delicious 'after' shots! |
