Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

Any time is right to proclaim my unconditional love for the fudge recipe. After the chocolate fudge, it’s time to go up a notch (in calorie terms), with peanut butter. This is an old fashioned peanut butter fudge recipe that I found in a book by French celebrity chef Julie Andrieu (not yet translated in English, unfortunately).

180gr dark chocolate 70%
150gr peanut butter
210gr sweetened condensed milk
70gr bitter cocoa powder

Coarsely chop the chocolate and add it to a small heatproof container with the condensed milk and the peanut butter. Put the container in a pan and add half fill with water, the put the pan on a low-medium heat, and let the ingredients melt (this is called bain-marie or water bath technique btw). Once it’s all melted, take the pan off the stove and mix well.

Line a baking tray with oven paper then transfer the sheet on a working surface and pour the fudge on it. Using a spatula, level until it is half cm thick, then cover with an extra sheet of oven paper of the same size and even it out with a rolling pin.

Now transfer the chocolate peanut butter fudge onto the baking tray and then leave it in the fridge for at least two hours. Lastly, cut the fudge into small  rectangles and you’re good to go.

And this is how to make peanut butter fudge, easy….
