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)
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!
A job.
I’d love a new handbag.
To be able to be with my children who are in California and Taiwan. Unfortunately, it will not happen this year.
Just some chillout with the kids.
Merry Christmas
The home we put an offer on… Hoping Santa will ask the Seller to accept our final offer on our dream home!! Oh please Santa!!!
For material things, number one on my list is a Kitchenaid Mixer. Other than that, just to have my family happy and healthy 🙂
OMG!!! these sound so good and I love that you used pretzel crisps instead regular pretzels. Oh, I would also love to have a KitchenAid Mixer 😉
OOPS!!! Picture me blushing, been looking at so many recipes of yours this morning I got them mixed up lol. The Potato Chip Fudge looks yummy too and reminds me of some my Aunt used to make. Still would like a KitchenAid mixer 😉
All I want for Christmas is time in the kitchen with my mom and sister 🙂
It looks delicious! A camera is in my Christmas list, I’ve been wanting one for a while!
For this baby to keep cooking until Feb!
I can’t wait to spend time with my family and friends–that’s what I want most 🙂
This Christmas, I just want to see everyone open and love the presents that I got for them. It makes me so much happier to give than to receive presents (although I wouldn’t mind getting this mixer for Christmas!).
I want to have a haply day with my family. That’s it!
For everyone to celebrate Jesus’ Birthday. And I want my family to be safe, happy and healthy.
I would love a pair of Carson flats by Frye, but I honestly just want everyone to have a good Christmas. I want the homeless to have a home to go to, the sick to be healthy, the poor to be able to pay their bills, the hungry to be fed, every child to wake up to a toy under the tree, all the shelter pets to be adopted, grudges to be forgotten, families to come together, and most importantly, for us all to remember what Christmas is truly about. 🙂
