Description

Moose Tracks Fudge is a decadent layered treat combining creamy vanilla fudge with rich semi-sweet chocolate ganache and mini peanut butter cups. This no-bake recipe uses simple ingredients melted in the microwave, creating a luscious swirl of flavors and textures perfect for gifting or indulgent snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Ganache (Dark Chocolate Fudge Layer)

  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (finely chopped bars or chips)

Vanilla Fudge Layer

  • 24 ounces white chips (Nestle Premier White Morsels or 28 ounces pure white chocolate)
  • 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Add-ins

  • 1 ⅓ cups mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Combine the semi-sweet chocolate and heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup. Heat in two 15-second bursts at full power, stirring after each burst until melted and smooth. Set aside while preparing the vanilla fudge.
  2. Make the Vanilla Fudge Layer: Place the white chips in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat at full power for 1 minute. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Heat again at 70% power for 90 seconds, then let the bowl rest in the microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and stir until smooth. If chips remain unmelted, rest the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes or heat at 70% power in 10-second bursts, stirring in between until fully melted. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  3. Layer the Fudge: Pour about two-thirds of the vanilla fudge into an 8-inch square baking pan lined with non-stick foil. Spread evenly. Pour two-thirds of the chocolate ganache over the vanilla layer and use a toothpick or skewer to create swirls by gently mixing the two layers.
  4. Add Peanut Butter Cups: Sprinkle 1 cup of mini peanut butter cups evenly over the fudge layers.
  5. Finish Layering: Reheat the remaining vanilla fudge in the microwave at 70% power for 5-10 seconds to warm slightly. Stir and pour it over the peanut butter cups. Drizzle the remaining chocolate ganache on top and use a toothpick or skewer again to swirl the fudge layers together decoratively.
  6. Chill and Set: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or leave at room temperature for approximately 4 hours until the fudge firms up.
  7. Serve: Cut into squares and serve immediately or package for gifting.

Notes

  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month.
  • To freeze, wrap fudge tightly in wax paper or tin foil, place in a zip-top bag, and freeze for up to three months.
  • For stovetop preparation instead of microwave, melt chocolate and combine ingredients over low heat, stirring until 75% of chips are melted, then remove from heat and stir until smooth.
