Peanut Butter Cup Fudge – An easy recipefor creamy chocolate fudge swirled with peanut butter and topped with peanut butter cups. This small batchrecipe is made in a loaf pan, yielding about 12 pieces of fudge.
Let’s eat all the chocolate and peanut butter things, OK?
I’m dreaming of diving into Peanut Butter Cupcakes, Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispies Treats, and all the Peanut Butter Cup Fudge that I can consume. Maybe it will help me forget the fact that I’ve had a sore throat for 5days and now some weird eye infection along with it. Ugh. My kids were sick a couple weeks ago, and as soon as they both recovered, I came down with something miserable. The doctor suggested that I eat as many peanut butter cups as possible, so I’m just following doctor’s orders here.
Kidding about that last part, of course. Although if there is a doctor who prescribes peanut butter cups as medicine, please send them my way. #BestDoctorEver 😉
I thought this would be the perfect time to share a small batch fudge recipe. Nothing screams Valentine’s Day like chocolate candy. Instead of buying your sweetie candy, you can make it yourself! This recipe is super simple and comes togetherquickly. You don’t need any fancy equipment, and onlya handful of ingredients. This fudge is made in a loaf pan which makes one 9×5 rectangle of fudge. It’s more than enough for two people, but not so much that you canfeed an army.
The base of the fudge is creamy semisweet chocolate. Peanut butter is swirled into the chocolate and it is topped (generously!) with peanut butter cups. You’re sure to woo your Valentine with this recipe. Chocolate and peanut butter… Who wouldn’t love you if you made this for them?

- 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips, or a combination of both
- scant ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
Line a 9x5 loaf pan with foil, leaving overhang on two sides. Grease the foil. Set aside.
Place chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle the peanut butter over the top and use a skewer or sharp knife to swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate. Allow to cool slightly, then sprinkle the peanut butter cups on top. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill completely.

What a gorgeous batch of fudge, Allison. Swooning here. Seriously, I think I will make this for all my boys for Valentine’s Day. I was going to buy some fudge at the store anyway, but this looks WAY better!

Good thing this is a small batch recipe because I’m pretty sure I’d eat the entire thing the second it was done. DROOLING!

Do you think dark chocolate chips would be fine in place of the semisweet? I may add this into my holiday baking list

Hi, Joy! Yes, dark chocolate chips would be fine. I think they’d keep it from being too sweet. Enjoy!

I made this and was looking forward to it. I followed the recipe to the T and it didnt set…the chocolate was gooey. what did i do wrongReply
Celebrating Sweets
Bummer! The main reason it wouldn’t set would be too little chocolate and too much condensed milk. If you followed the recipe it should have worked, I’m not sure what else could have gone wrong. Sorry to hear that it didn’t come out for you.
