Caramel Peanut Butter Fudge is a soft and creamy caramel and peanut butter fudge with crushed digestive biscuits (graham crackers) throughout for added crunch.
In New Zealand we have a classic chocolate fudge recipe that combines fudge with crushed digestive biscuits (graham crackers). Sometimes known as the Hedgehog Slice.
This caramel peanut butter fudge is like the caramel peanut butter version of the Hedgehog Slice.
The fudge is sweet from the condensed milk caramel mixture with a hint of peanut butter flavour coming through and just a touch of chocolate at the end. If you cover these in a chocolate ganache like I did for the photos you taste more of the chocolate flavour within this fudge. If that makes any sense at all!
For this recipe I do recommend using a full fat condensed milk not a reduced fat or skim milk condensed milk. Just good ole' regular condensed milk as using a fat free or reduced fat condensed milk will make the caramel thinner and your fudge may not set properly.
I also like to use an all natural peanut butter in all my peanut butter recipes and that is what I have used here. Again, you can use regular peanut butter but I just prefer the taste of all natural peanut butter.
This caramel peanut butter fudge really could not be easier to make. I whipped it up in ten minutes which is great when you want a quick and easy, no bake sweet treat for the warm summer afternoons or just to have onhand when you have a sugar craving.
