It’s about the time of year when we all start drooling over sweet treats and nothing can satisfy the craving better than the dynamic duo of chocolate and peanut butter.  This fudge is not only incredibly quick to whip up (aside from letting it chill of course), but also only uses 4 ingredients that you probably have lying around somewhere.  But beware- this fudge is so delicious that everyone is going to be begging to have a piece.
