A few months ago I made two batches of fudge: one with walnuts and one with creamy ribbons of peanut butter swirled inside the fudge. The overall consensus was that the walnut fudge was better — the peanut butter fudge was too over the top. Because I had extra fudge leftover yesterday from making the brownie fingers, I decided it couldn’t go to waste. I also had about a cup of crunchy peanut butter that needed to be used up; so I combined the two.
The result? A truly decadent piece of fudge.
