Peanut Butter–Chocolate Fudge Recipe
This fudge combines the saltiness of peanut butter with the complexity of chocolate for a simple sweet that’s a crowd-pleaser.
What to buy: We used 60 percent cacao bittersweet chocolate chips from Ghirardelli. They have a deep chocolate flavor and make this fudge even easier, because no chopping is necessary.
Game plan: The fudge will last up to 10 days when stored covered in the refrigerator.
