Yum, delicious homemade fudge. What can I say? It’s been around forever and it’s still extremely popular to this day! In this recipe, you are getting the best of both worlds because peanut butter and cocoa both go into this recipe. That’s not it; did I mention chopped walnuts also go into this delicious fudge as well? If you have ever made fudge before you probably know it takes little time and is rather easy. One important thing is making sure the fudge reaches the right temperate on the stove. Use a candy thermometer or even a digital thermometer for a more accurate reading. You will want the fudge to reach around 238-240 degrees before removing from the heat.
