Holiday treats: Peanut butter-chocolate swirl fudge

Fudge is an easy and delicious treat for any time of the year, but especially at the holidays. If you feel like adding a quick confection to your holiday baking repertoire, this recipe for peanut butter-chocolate swirl fudge is a great choice – it’s been in the Buffalo Baking Examiner’s recipe book nearly 15 years. Find Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips on sale at Buffalo-area Wegmans for $1.99 until the end of December, and visit Buffalo’s Aldi stores for some inexpensive sweetened condensed milk.

  • 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1-2/3 cups (1-10 oz. bag) peanut butter chips

Line 8”x8” or 9”x9” pan with foil and grease foil.

Combine milk and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until butter melts and mixture is smooth. Put approximately 1/3 cup of mixture into a small saucepan and add chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth (return to heat if necessary). Add peanut butter chips to remaining mixture, stirring until melted and smooth (return to heat if necessary).
