The fudge is sweet and the texture is perfect. Layered Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge are one of my go-to recipes to serve during the holidays.

This recipe is very easy but looks very fancy and the fudge can be made in about 10 minutes.

The original recipe for this fudge was found in a magazine from 1981. The recipe and the ad were by Kraft Marshmallow Creme.

I believe it is initially called Ribbon Fantasy Fudge. We have been making this fudge for 40 years.

How To Make Layered Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fudge

This recipe is easier to make if you measure out all the ingredients beforehand.

Tip: I like to place parchment paper in the bottom of the 9 x 13-inch pan so that I can pick the entire slab of fudge up and set it on the counter for easier cutting. I do this with brownies and bars that I want to cut evenly. Spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray. Place the parchment paper on the sprayed pan and press into the corners so that the paper sticks to the pan.

Combine half of the sugar, half of the butter, and half of the evaporated milk in a heavy saucepan; bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.

Continue boiling for 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat; stir in chocolate chips. Add 1/2 jar of marshmallow creme and vanilla; stir until well blended.

Pour into a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Repeat with remaining ingredients, substituting peanut butter for chocolate pieces.

Spread over the chocolate layer. Cool at room temperature; cut into squares.

This recipe makes about 3 pounds of fudge.
