If you love rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter, this Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Fudge is going to be your new favorite treat! It’s smooth, sweet, and perfectly balanced, with chocolatey goodness in every bite and a swirl of peanut butter that melts in your mouth.
The best part? No baking, no fancy equipment—just melt, swirl, and chill!
Let’s do this!
What You’ll Need
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Pro Tips
- Use creamy peanut butter! Natural peanut butter can be too oily and separate in the fudge.
- Melt the chocolates separately. This keeps the swirl pattern clean and defined.
- Don’t overmix the swirl! Gently drag a knife through the fudge to create beautiful swirls without blending everything together.
- Let it set completely. Chill for at least 2 hours before cutting to get perfect slices.
- Make it extra fancy! Sprinkle crushed peanuts or a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for extra texture and flavor.
Tools You’ll Need
- Two small saucepans
- Spatula
- 8×8-inch baking dish
- Parchment paper
- Knife for swirling and cutting
Substitutions & Variations
- Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free chocolate and coconut condensed milk.
- Extra peanut butter flavor: Stir in ½ tsp peanut butter extract for even more nuttiness.
- Crunchy version: Mix in chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels before swirling.
- Sweeter version: Use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet for a milder, sweeter fudge.
Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and half the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in ½ tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
2. Melt the peanut butter mixture.
In another saucepan, melt white chocolate chips, peanut butter, the remaining sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in ½ tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
3. Layer and swirl.
Pour the chocolate mixture and peanut butter mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish in alternating spoonfuls.
4. Create the swirl.
Use a knife or skewer to gently drag through the fudge, swirling the chocolate and peanut butter together.
5. Chill and set.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
6. Cut and serve.
Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Leftovers & Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Want to keep it longer? Freeze the fudge for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
