Directions
-
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper, extending the edges over the sides for easy removal.
-
Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
-
Add the white chocolate to the bowl and melt over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
-
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the chunky peanut butter until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and use a knife to gently swirl the peanut butter chunks into the chocolate for a marbled effect.
-
Refrigerate the pan for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm and set.
-
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the wax paper handles and cut into 1.5-inch squares.

Note
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The fudge can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Ensure you use high-quality white chocolate baking bars or chips, as some "white chocolate" flavorings may not melt properly or contain too much oil.
If the mixture becomes too thick to stir, you can return it to the heat for a few seconds, but avoid overheating which can cause the chocolate to seize.
For a smoother texture, use creamy peanut butter instead of chunky, though the chunks add a delightful textural contrast.
