This easy microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge recipe comes together in just 10 minutes and uses pantry staples. It’s a favorite holiday dessert!

Diets start on Monday….. Or with the quickly approaching new year, New Year’s Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday with friends and loved ones! I enjoyed a much-needed break and spent some lovely time with my immediate family (all three siblings and their families made it home this year!!!)!

I am sure you all are ready for the holiday detox and enjoyed (and over indulged) in your fair share of holiday treats, but I have one more treat for you before those pesky New Year’s diets begin.This Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, is my go-to fudge recipe. I have seriously been making and perfecting this recipe since I first started cooking on my own in middle school.

While I have tried many fudge recipes in the years since, I love this recipe since it uses basic pantry staples (no marshmallow fluff, sweetened condensed milk, etc. that you may not always keep on hand) and it can be made in less than 10 minutes!

Plus, if making candy and fudge intimidates you, due to scary candy thermometers and burning sugar, this recipe is made for you, since it is made in the microwave!

If you have any additional holiday gatherings over the next few days, say a New Year’s Eve party, whip up this fudge and indulge just a few days more
