WHY ARE PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE SO GOOD?

There are so many duos out there that we can’t help but love.

Some of my favorite food duos are:

• Bacon and Eggs
• Burgers and Fries
• Salt and Pepper
• Spaghetti and Meatballs
• Tequila and Lime (if you love this flavor combo try these Margarita Lime Tequila Cookies!)
• Ham and Cheese
• Chips and Salsa
• Cinnamon and Sugar
• Biscuits and Gravy

I think that chocolate and peanut butter belong on this list too! Yes, peanut butter and jelly are good, but they really don’t compare to peanut butter and chocolate!

This incredible combination delivers a scrumptious fudge you will make every year.

HOW TO MAKE REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

You know I don’t do complicated, so trust me, this is going to be a cinch.

STEP ONE: CHOP PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

The first step and the most tedious is to unwrap and chop up all the peanut butter cups. I like to enlist my kids to help me with this. Just be sure to have some extras on  hand for kids (and adults) who snack while they work, LOL.

STEP TWO: ADD INGREDIENTS

It is time to add the following ingredients to your sauce pan or Instant Pot (yep — just for fun I tried it in my IP): butter, white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.

STEP THREE: MELT

Over medium heat (or on your IP’s saute mode) stir the ingredients while the mixture starts to melt. Continue stirring until it is completely melted.

STEP FOUR: PREPARE PAN

Place a piece of foil in the bottom of an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan.

Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Sprinkle the chopped up mini Reese’s peanut butter cups over the bottom of the pan.

STEP FIVE: POUR MIXTURE

Now pour the melted chocolate mixture finto the baking dish.

STEP SIX: COVER

Cover the baking dish with foil.

STEP SEVEN: REFRIGERATE

Place the baking dish of Reese’s Peanut Butter Fudge into the refrigerator and let it sit until the fudge is nice and firm. This usually takes a few hours.

Remove the fudge from the refrigerator and remove the fudge from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 1 or 2-inch pieces.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
