Butterscotch Crunch Fudge with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl

Butterscotch Crunch Fudge with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl

The other day I saw some awesome Oreo Peanut Butter Swirl White Chocolate Fudge from Picky Palate. After I saw it, I knew I wasn’t going to get through the day without making fudge. The only problem was I didn’t have any white chocolate chips or Oreos, and I didn’t want to run to the grocery store. I had tons of butterscotch chips, and they inspired me to make Butterscotch Crunch Fudge with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl. This fudge has similar flavors as Butterscotch and Milk Chocolate Puppy Chow.

This fudge turned out so delicious, I had to share it with you! I love how Jenny used sweetened condensed milk as the base for the fudge. It makes it come together so quickly, and it gives it a slightly different consistency than traditional fudge. It’s sort of addicting.  This fudge didn’t last long at my house…..especially after my kids found it.

Delicious Butterscotch Crunch Fudge with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl

HOW TO MAKE Butterscotch Crunch Fudge with a Chocolate Peanut Butter swirl

  • Butter an 8×8 baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a double boiler, melt peanut butter and chocolate chips. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk until it is runny but not bubbling or boiling.
  • Add chocolate chips and stir until melted.
  • Add marshmallows and continue stirring until melted.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of Rice Chex Cereal.
  • Pour fudge mixture into prepared 8×8 baking dish.
  • Drizzle chocolate peanut butter mixture back and forth over fudge. Drag a knife through in the opposite direction to create swirls.
  • Cool completely before serving. I put the fudge in the fridge to speed up the cooling process.
  • Enjoy!
