    Rich Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Fudge cooked in the microwave. Makes a great gift for your favorite peanut butter lover.

    Are you wanting to try your hand at making fudge but don't know where to start? Give this rich and creamy peanut butter chocolate swirl fudge a try.

    Made in in your microwave with simple ingredients you probably already have, this recipe is practically foolproof.

    And it is delicious too!

    peanut butter chocolate fudge with a cup of coffee

    Peanut butter lovers rejoice! This fudge only has a few basic ingredients you probably have in your pantry and it microwaves in just 4 minutes.... and then you have to wait FOREVER for it to set.

    Okay, maybe it only seems like forever.

    With all of the butter in this recipe, it was so rich that I am glad I added the dark chocolate swirl to balance it out a bit.

    Since the mixtures are rather thick and the pieces would eventually be cut rather small, I didn't really swirl the chocolate and peanut butter like I would for a marble cake. Instead I left the peanut butter layers a bit uneven and then added the chocolate to even it out.

    Ingredients for Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Fudge

    The ingredients are pretty much what you would expect, and all are readily available.

    • butterΒ (or margarine, coconut oil or shortening)
    • creamy peanut butter (or crunchy if you prefer)
    • vanilla extract
    • powdered sugar
    • dark chocolate melting wafersΒ (or chocolate chips)

    I had dark chocolate melting wafers on hand, but you could easily use chocolate chips or baking chocolate with a little butter or coconut oil to help it mix smoothly.

    Can you make fudge with other nut butters?

    Absolutely! I think pecan or almond butter would be particularly delicious. You could even try sunflower seed butter if nut allergies are an issue.
