Reese's Peanut Butter Fudge

Reese's Peanut Butter Fudge
Reese's Peanut Butter Fudge is luscious and creamy, made with chunks of peanuts throughout the fudge to give it the perfect crunch. This Reese's Peanut Butter Fudge is a simple recipe with just 4-ingredients! It comes together in just 10 minutes. 
I have been making it over and over again to give for gifts, and you better believe this is on my holiday gift giving list! Fudge for everyone.
Naturally, I had to make a thank you treat, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were on the top of my mind. I thought that topping this simple peanut butter fudge with a truckload of peanut butter cups and milk chocolate would really put them over the top and believe you me; I was right!
They were absolutely incredible, and everyone went nuts over them. I have made these 4 times in the last week, and I have to say everyone has raved about them, and I know you will too.
Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 16 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating (Almond Bark or white chocolate chips)*
  • 2 cups super crunchy peanut butter (about 18 ounces)
  • 8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips (melted)
intructions:
  1. Line an 8"x8" baking pan with aluminum foil. Set aside.
  2. Melt candy coating in a heat safe bowl. Microwave at half power for 30 seconds at a time until melted and smooth.
  3. Add peanut butter. Stir until completely combined and smooth.
  4. Pour into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Gently press Reese's into peanut butter fudge, so they are about 1/2 submerged in the fudge. This will help keep them from falling off when you cut the fudge.
  5. Drizzle melted milk chocolate over top.
  6. Freeze 30 minutes (or refrigerate 1 hour) or until fudge is firm. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the aluminum foil edges. Unwrap the foil. Check to make sure all the foil is off. Cut into bite size pieces.
  7. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
  8. DONNA'S NOTES: *You can use CandiQuik or Almond Bark Vanilla Candy Coating. Wilton candy melts would also work. You can also substitute white chocolate chips. There are not any almonds in Almond Bark. It is just the product name.
  9. I use a chef's knife to cut the fudge. You can warm the knife in hot water and then dry it and slice it perfectly.
  10. You can package these up in mini treat bags for great gifts
