Description

These Peanut Butter Swirl Squares are an irresistible, no-bake treat combining creamy peanut butter and smooth chocolate. Designed for ease and guaranteed smiles, this family-friendly fudge is perfect for a quick dessert or weeknight indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Prep Pan: Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing an overhang on the sides.
  2. Make Peanut Butter Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 0.5 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until completely smooth and uniformly combined.
  3. Press Into Pan: Firmly press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan, creating a smooth, flat layer.
  4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
  5. Create Swirl: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer. Using a knife or skewer, gently drag it through the chocolate and into the fudge to create beautiful, distinct swirls and patterns.
  6. Chill To Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the Peanut Butter Swirl Squares are completely firm to the touch.
  7. Cut And Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab from the pan. Cut into 16-25 squares using a warm, sharp knife for clean edges and serve.

Notes

For best results, use a quality, creamy peanut butter and fresh butter. Both baking chocolate and candy melts work well for the swirl. For a low-carb version, use sugar-free powdered sweetener and a low-carb, high-percentage dark chocolate. If the chocolate cools too fast and becomes hard to swirl, microwave it for another 10 seconds to loosen it up. Store squares in the refrigerator.
