❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

1. Can I use natural peanut butter?

Yes, but natural peanut butter can separate and make the fudge oily. Stir it well before using. The texture may be slightly different but it still works.

2. How should I store this fudge?

Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it for up to three months.

3. Can I make this fudge without condensed milk?

No, the sweetened condensed milk is needed for the chocolate layer to set properly. There is no good substitute for it in this recipe.

4. Why is my fudge too soft?

It may not have chilled long enough. Make sure to refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If it is still soft, let it chill longer.

5. Can I add nuts or other toppings?

Absolutely. Sprinkle chopped peanuts or sea salt on top of the chocolate layer before it sets for extra crunch and flavor.
