Love fudge? Try this Cranberry White Chocolate Fudge next! I am in full blown holiday mode here with this Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge! I have to admit, I’ve never been one for making much Christmas candy: the fudge, the truffles, the brittles, etc. — I just didn’t do it. I love baking, and I love the cookies and the cakes and the desserts. I love the big dinners and brunches and alllll the hot chocolate. But the older I get, the less I enjoy those sickly sweet treats. The cure? Add some peanut butter, pretzels, and chopped peanuts to a classic chocolate fudge recipe and suddenly you have just the right mix of sweet and salty, smooth and crunchy. Christmas candy perfection! This recipe is perfect for sharing and gift giving! I love giving homemade edible gifts (maybe because I enjoy receiving homemade edible gifts?) because everyone has different favorites and Christmas traditions and you might try something you’ve never had before. What are some of your favorite Christmas candies? Leave me a comment below! Tips and Tricks for Making this Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge with Pretzels:
Choose a chocolate that tastes good. I really recommend using a good quality pure chocolate bar, either milk chocolate if you like things sweet, or dark chocolate (or a combo!) if you like a little more balance. Work quickly. You don’t want the fudge to set up or get too firm before you’ve got it in the pan and all of you goodies added. Feel free to mix up your add-ins, although I definitely recommend adding some crunch and some salt, as it will really balance out that smooth, very sweet fudge. Crushed cereal, rice krispies, other nuts — all of those would work well!
