Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge is a wonderful and easy treat! It is smooth and creamy and is like a peanut butter cup in fudge form! Everyone who tries this recipe falls in love with it!

I LOVE fudge this time of year! The silkiness and creaminess is something I crave.

I have been exceptionally tired lately. Probably due the the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. When it comes to making a treat for friends, family or a party, I simply don’t have the energy for something that is going to require a lot of time or effort. That is where fudge comes in! It comes together so quickly and there is no baking required!

This fudge reminded me of a peanut butter cup but in fudge form! It was DIVINE! My sister, who is peanut butter fanatic could not stop eating it! It really is unbelievably good :)

If you are looking for a treat that is easy and delicious, give this one a try! You will be SO happy you did :)

Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish Braid

This Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish Braid is SO simple and tastes incredible! The puff pastry just melts in your mouth and is perfectly paired with a cream cheese filling and a delicious raspberry sauce.


Pastries are probably one of my favorite desserts right next to chocolate. I love the buttery, flaky, melt in your mouth texture it creates.

After making the Patriotic Pastry and my Blueberry Danish Puff, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Trust me, ITS THAT GOOD! I knew I wanted something similar but also wanted to make some adaptions and this little beauty was born.


It has a delicious sweet cream cheese filling and a wonderful raspberry sauce. It is sweetened just perfectly so that there is a subtle hint of tart to each bite.

This is such an easy dessert to make! It uses sheets of puff pastry, which in my opinion, tastes just as great as completely homemade and creates the perfect flake each and every time!

If you are looking for a quick and easy dessert that is packed with incredible flavor, give this recipe a try! People will be raving about it FOREVER!
