Rich velvety thick layers of chocolate and peanut butter swirl together in this deliciously thick Layered Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge. These bars are made with marshmallow fluff melted into the chocolate and peanut butter chips.
I love to prepare fudge during the holidays, which is why I always make Peanut Butter fudge and include it in my Christmas cookie tins.
Sometimes I can’t choose between chocolate fudge or Peanut Butter Fudge, which is why this fudge is absolutely perfect. It covers both cravings and even better it’s easy to make.
Layered Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
As we pack our suitcases and prepare for our holiday vacation I’m reminded of trips past. The ones where we visit new towns and make adventurous memories. Each town is more unique than the last and always complete with some kind of sweet shop, whether a cafe or bakery.
Always present in these little shops of sugar are the customary cases of fudge. From childhood to adult life I still pause to read the flavor of each and every delectable option, with chocolate peanut butter always being one of my favorites.
I could never just gaze through and always headed home with a paper envelope filled with two or three pieces. These little moments of joy are worth sharing, which is why I love making my own fudge during the holiday season.
Bringing a cookie tin to a neighbor filled to the brim with this layered chocolate peanut butter fudge or just setting down a plate full is how I plan to spend the end of this year.

The easiest way to slice fudge and get a clean cut is by using a large sharp knife coated in cooking spray. After each slice is made using a damp paper towel to carefully clean the blade and spray again before the next slice.
