Easy Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

I love chocolate. I can eat it in pretty much any shape or form. When the holidays come around, fudge is an all time favorite for me. I am not one to make it very often because a minute on my lips is forever on my hips, but once in a while, I treat myself and give away as much as I can!

Fudge is often made with chocolate and I was always happy with that, until I tasted peanut butter fudge. OMG it is good. So I had to find an easy recipe to make when I needed a fix and this is the one and I can add in some chocolate too. Reese’s anyone?
