How is it that there are only 10 days until Christmas??? This is the first time in my Christmas hosting history that I don't even have my menu finalized. Usually, it's done at least 3 weeks before. How 'bout I commit to sharing it with you this Friday! There, some accountability, a reason to get 'er done!
Until then, lemme share some fudge with you. I made this a couple of weeks ago & brought some into work. Everyone really enjoyed it. It seemed to be a bit softer than the usual fudge but the flavor was wonderful & this was super easy to make. No need to use a candy thermometer for this fudge recipe!

Even though I am not a huge chocolate lover & this fudge has more of a peanut butter than chocolate taste, I do recommend adding more chocolate. Maybe even double it. I plan to next time & see where it takes me.
If you like a little more chocolate in your fudge & a little toffee to boot, try this:

It wouldn't be the holidays without homemade fudge! These both look scrumptious! PB and chocolate is my fave.
I think we might have to revoke your woman card for saying your not a huge fan of chocolate!!!
My family loves peanut butter and chocolate together. I'm going to give this recipe a try with your recommendations.
You fudgy temptress you :)
PB fudge and maple are my favorites, and I have yet to make it, afraid my mom would look down on me and cry, cause I just am, well I am trying to be the baker she always was...that you are!
I made fudge for the first time over the weekend! I made peppermint fudge with peppermint candy on top. It was really good. I'll have to try this chocolate peanut butter one because there is nothing better than chocolate and peanut butter.
I had some parents bring me peanut butter fudge last year. That is something I can really get into.
Hi there! The fudge looks Heavenly! If I had marshmallows, I'd make it right now cause I have everything else. I'm doing my Christmas cookies today.
Hope all is well and moving full steam ahead for Christmas! Have fun planning your menu. I just know it will be a winner!

HMM Fudge...looks great!!!!
Wowza. Wowza! Wowza! This looks so delectable.
I am at a low place with food right now. So fat and depressed.
If anyone cares, I know it is you : ) So, needless to say, I won't make this, but I will save the recipe! : )
My Daddy says it is not Christmas until there is fudge and divinity on the dessert table!
When I first read this, I thought it said "peanut butter chocolate fondue". Ooooh... doesn't that sound awesome? With biscotti dipped in it? Mmmmmm....
Fudge sounds great too, but I'm wondering if it could be turned into a fondue? :-)
