Every Christmas, I try to make fudge or something similar and chocolately to give to my father. In the past, he has been the recipient of cherry polka dot fudge and Caramilk sugar fudge.

This year, I made a batch of dark chocolate and white chocolate peanut butter layered fudge. Quite a mouthful – the name and the fudge itself.

Perhaps I’m not the best person to judge this stuff. Having grown up being deathly allergic to peanuts has created a bit of an aversion to them. I have outgrown the allergy and can eat peanuts now, but don’t particularly like them or their by-products. I think if you do like the peanut butter and chocolate combo, then you would like this fudge. I enjoyed the sweetness all the white chocolate gives to it, the slight saltiness of the peanut butter and how the dark chocolate cuts through both the salty and the sweet. I tried a few bites, and did enjoy it, so anyone who loves peanut butter should love it. And it’s a pretty fudge too – perfect to give as a gift!
