Tips

For a crunchy fudge, stir in chopped nuts, marshmallows, or chocolate chips before chilling.
This fudge holds its shape very well, making it perfect for gifting or for holiday cookie platters.
Ensure the frosting is warm enough to combine smoothly with the peanut butter, but not so hot that it separates.
