Yield Makes 8 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

For chocolate layer
Vegetable oil for greasing pan
7 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts (4 oz)
For peanut butter layer
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (not "natural")
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
For hot fudge sauce
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Make chocolate layer:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing 2 inches of foil to hang over 2 opposite ends of pan, and lightly brush foil (except overhang) with oil.
  • Melt chocolate with butter, sugar, and salt in a double boiler or a large metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, whisking occasionally, until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk in eggs and vanilla, then stir in peanuts.
  • Pour batter into baking pan and bake until set and edges are slightly puffed, about 15 minutes. Transfer cake in pan to a rack to cool completely.
  • Make peanut butter layer:
  • Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners sugar, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until combined well, about 4 minutes.
  • Beat cream with vanilla in a bowl with cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until it just holds stiff peaks, then gently fold into peanut butter mixture until just combined.
  • Spread mixture evenly on top of chocolate layer and freeze, pan covered with foil, until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Make hot fudge sauce:
  • Bring cream, syrup, sugar, cocoa, salt, and chocolate to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla until incorporated. Cool sauce to warm.
  • To serve:
  • Carefully lift cake from pan by grasping overhang. Trim 1/4 inch from edges of cake and discard, then cut into 8 bars. Peel off foil and serve bars with sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your fudge bars are rich, creamy, and flavorful. Look for chocolate chips that are at least 60% cacao, and use real butter instead of margarine.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: The fudge should be cooked just until it reaches a soft-ball stage, which is 234-238°F (112-114°C). If you overcook the fudge, it will be crumbly and grainy.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the fudge in the refrigerator.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: The fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
