Working safely, but quickly, stir one-half of the hot mixture into peanut butterchips and the other half into the chocolate chips. Stir the peanut butter mixture untilfully melted and quickly pour into prepared pan.

Stir the chocolate chips mixture until fully melted and carefully spread over top of peanut butter layer.

Let sit at room temperature until completely cool. Cut into small squares.

Hi, Joe! My sister sent a link to this fudge with a little hint about having it as a Christmas treat ... and as the little sister, I must oblige :) Please tell me, can peanut BUTTER be used in place of peanut butter chips? Thanks!

Nutty - I wish I had an answer for you... we have always just used the peanut butter chips! I'm not sure if it would set correctly if you used straight peanut butter. If you do try it, please let us know!

I used a creamy peanut butter with excellent results - there wasn't a gradual blend in the layers, as shown in your pic; instead, a perfectly clean delineation and adhesion. I don't think a natural peanut butter such as Teddy would work, but Jif was fine. I went with less than a cup because I didn't want to introduce too much oil and make it gooey. Next time I might throw some crushed peanuts in the bottom of the dish, just for crunch. Thanks again!

Do you have any tips for cutting the fudge and getting clean edges like you've done in the photo of the fudge? Would using a cookie cutter in a square shape yield uniform cubes or would the fudge stick to the cutter too much?

You've got a great blog and I'm looking forward to trying out this recipe!

Will be sure to try this recipe. I was looking for one that used the marshmallow spread or marshmallows them selves instead of butter. I used to live near a fudge place when I was young and got free samples for helping clean and take out garbage, etc.

As far as cutting it smoothly- they alway cut it with a small piece of stainless steel wire- like that which would be found on the end of a cheese slicer. Maybe the roller of the cheese cutter could be removed???

I made this yesterday. It is absolutely wonderful! I cut it while still slightly warm, and it cut perfectly. I foiled and sprayed the pan so I could lift it out, then cut it with a pizza cutter sprayed with cooking spray.

I posted anonymously a couple of years, but feel the need to thank you again for this recipe and the Kahlua Spiced Pecans. I've mad other things from your site and enjoyed them, but these two have become traditions!
