For today’s Peanut Butter and Chocolate Saturday I am sharing an easy recipe for fudge. Oddly enough I was not a big fan of fudge until I discovered the kind with peanut butter. Just proves how much I am NOT a true chocolate lover. I like it as a contributing flavor instead of the star.

I find normal chocolate fudge to be too sweet, which is why I especially love that this fudge is made with dark chocolate because it tones down the sweetness even more. But if you’re over there shaking your head at me in disbelief because you actually prefer more chocolate try my magic chocolate walnut fudge.

In other news, we may be playing Iowa but I am attending to more important things today – being a proud bridesmaid in my friend Amber’s wedding! I am actually wearing a red/maroon dress which was completely unintentional (I actually was originally hoping to find an olive colored dress).
