Caramel Peanut Fudge |  This fudge is my nod to my favorite Payday candy bar.  I replaced the sweetened condensed milk with a whole can of Dulce de Leche.  Yep, now you get it.  It’s full of caramel flavor with lots of salty peanuts mixed inside and sprinkled on top.

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that I have a slight obsession with fudge.  I think it’s fun to take basically the same recipe and create delicious new flavors.  I love adding fudge to the Christmas trays of goodies I make for friends.
