Tips:

  • For a smoother fudge-like texture, use semisweet chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
  • To make the candy more festive, sprinkle chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, or colored sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
  • If you want a thicker candy, use 1 cup of peanut butter instead of 1/2 cup.
  • For a chewier candy, cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes before pouring it into the prepared pan.
  • To make sure the candy is set, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the candy is ready.
