This a good post. 
You are going to want to read all of it.
Promise, I will make it short.
First, there is this fudge.
Man, I know the name is obnoxious, but it is crazy good. It’s sweet, peanutty, chocolatey and salty. Perfect combo for the week before Christmas.
This fudge is made of a base of dulce de leche, sweetened condensed milk, a touch of peanut butter and lots of chocolate. You guys, I made this fudge yesterday. I made two pans, gave one away and the other is completely gone. It is so good that today’s planned post got bumped.
Fudge – in for the win!
I was reading this gorgeous post yesterday and a light bulb went off in my head. I must use some dulce de leche before Christmas is over.
If you are unfamiliar with dulce de leche it is caramelized sweetened condensed milk and man, it is so good. Typically it is sold right next to the sweetened condensed milk. If for some reason you cannot not find it, swap in sweetened condensed milk or make your own dulce de leche by simmering sweetened condensed milk on the stove for four hours.
And the toppings?
Reese’s, Hershey’s Kisses and potato chips. Yep, I should have just called these fatty fudge, but my friend Naomi already made fatty bars, so I am leaving the awesome name to her!
Hey, it is the week before Christmas and these are one hundred percent acceptable! Plus, they are SO easy. No bake and done in under twenty minutes!
And now for the super fun part. A little Christmas gift for YOU!

Loaded Peanut Butter Chocolate Covered Potato Chip Dulce De Leche Fudge (+ A KitchenAid)
Servings: 16 squares

Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 1 (13.4 ounce) can dulce de leche divided, may sub 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk about half a can
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Hershey's chocolate kisses chopped
- 1/2 cup mini Reeses chopped
- 6 ounces dark chocolate melted, divided
- 1 cup ruffled potato chips
Instructions
- Line a 8×8 pan with wax or parchment paper.
- Add semi-sweet chocolate, 3/4 of the can of dulch de leche (leaving 1/2 cup in the can) to a double boiler, and melt completely. Once melted, remove from heat and slowly add in sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter and vanilla extract, stirring with a large spatula until mixed. The chocolate will be thick. Mixture is going to get super thick but slowly stir and just fold the chocolate mixture over until combined. Use the spatula or a large spoon to spread the chocolate into the pan. It will be very thick, just try and spread as evenly as you can. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
- Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave on 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. This takes me about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Remove the pan from the fridge. Pour 3/4 of the dark chocolate over the fudge. Using the back of a spoon, spread it evenly over the top of the fudge. Immediately cover it with the chopped Reese's and chopped Hershey's kisses. Take the remaining dulce de leche and melt in the microwave for 30 seconds. Let cool for three minutes and then drizzle over the top of the candy. Add the potato chips on top of top of the candy (crushing them if you would like). Now grab the remaining melted chocolate and drizzle over the potato chips. Let set in the fridge for 30 minutes or so.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 16 squares.
Now let’s make fudge!
Love your recipes and would love a stand mixer.
OH MY GOD this fudge looks AMAZING!!! It has all of the best flavors in the world in it! Actually, it was this title that led me to your blog (I read about the recipe here: http://www.bustle.com/articles/11506-10-food-blogs-to-teach-you-how-to-cook-in-2014/8) and the pictures are even more delicious looking that what I had imagined in my head – lol.
I’d LOVE for my daughter to be FPIES free. That would definitely be a Christmas miracle 🙂
I would love to be able to visit my parents back in Mexico. Thank you for the giveaway!
I would love to climb into a time machine and spend Christmas with my mother and father. Both at the same time. He passed when I was 3 and mom has been gone since my youngest was 2. To hear them laugh together and to get sandwiched inside one big hug would be the best Christmas present ever, forever. I miss them so.
All I want for Christmas! Is time to spend making memories with my family. I love making cookies with my kids! Merry Christmas!
I can’t wait to make and bake cookies and treats!! We’re doing a “homemade” Christmas and ALL gifts MUST be homemade… it’s forcing us all to tap in to our creative voices!
I can’t wait to make this fudge with my mom and sister!
I know this is a little gaggy, but I just want my husband to be happy at work. I wish they would treat him better and be less idiotic every day.
What I am looking forward to most this holiday season, is to have my daughter experience her first Christmas and to pig out on food( . .and really, who doesn’t look forward to that!)
Yum!
I’d love everyone to be Happy and enjoy themselves!
I would love anything for the kitchen! I have a old hand mixer so this would be amazing. ♡
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Tieghan, thanks for all the wonderful recipes and ideas you post.
What I’d like for Christmas is to win this KitchenAid Stand Mixer for my grandma who always wanted one growing up but could never afford one. That and to be able to take her to the restaurant in the CN tower located in Toronto.
Sorry to post it more than once, I’m new to posting on blogs.
