Buckeye Fudge is a creamy peanut butter fudge layer covered with a thick layer of chocolate ganache. This is the best way I can describe it. Two amazing fudge flavors stacked on top of each other. Like Christin says, peanut butter and chocolate, "What's not to love!
I have heard of Buckeye Candy before, but I have never made it for some reason. I can't imagine why. I first became aware of the Buckeye Fudge version from Christin over at Spicy Southern Kitchen.
As soon as I saw this fudge on her website, I wanted to make it, and I knew it would be perfect in our Christmas treat boxes.
It is absolutely the best fudge. It is close to becoming my favorite fudge, with my Mother's Millionaire Fudge being my favorite.
Buckeye candy can be time consuming, rolling and dipping each little ball. Now the fudge. It only takes 10-15 minutes to make the layers. That is quite a bit of a time saver.
You, too, can enjoy making some wonderfully delicious fudge for your New Year celebrations. Enjoy!
Buckeye Fudge
-
Peanut Layer:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
Chocolate Layer:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz.) can sweeten condense milk
2 tablespoons butter
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer. Slowly add the powdered sugar a cup at a time using a paddle attachment of the electric mixer to combine. The mixture will be thick but soft.
Spoon mixture into a parchment paper lined 9" square dish. Pat mixture down evenly; set aside.
In a 4 cup measuring cup, add semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds and stir. Microwave an additional 30 seconds or as needed so the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk are creamy smooth, stirring after every 30 seconds.
Pour immediately over the peanut butter layer. Smooth out with an offset spatula. Refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting into squares.
Store in airtight containers.
