Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge is a match made in heaven. This fudge can be made in the microwave in a matter of minutes or on the stovetop.
The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is definitely a favorite. This fudge has so much creamy goodness but it also has a nice crunch thanks to the addition of peanuts. The best part though is how quick and easy it is to make. There is no candy thermometer needed!!
