Okay, so I tried making Hershey’s Cocoa Peanut Butter Fudge today, and let me tell you, it was a bit of an adventure. Here’s how it went down:
First, I gathered all the ingredients. I mean, you can’t start baking without having everything ready, right? I laid out the butter, sugar, milk, Hershey’s cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. I also grabbed my trusty saucepan and a square baking dish.
Then, I greased the baking dish with some butter. Gotta make sure that fudge doesn’t stick! After that, I combined the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder in the saucepan. I stirred them together over medium heat. It took a little while, but I kept stirring until it all melted and started to boil. It is important to keep an eye on it.

The Tricky Part
This is where it got a little tricky. I had to let the mixture boil for exactly 8 minutes without stirring. It was tough, I’m not gonna lie. But I resisted the urge and just watched the timer. When the time was up, I took the pan off the heat.
Next, I stirred in the peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. I mixed it all up until it was nice and smooth. The smell was amazing, by the way. I poured the mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Grease a baking pan.
- Boil for eight minutes.
- Stir in other ingredients.
- Pour into baking dish.
Waiting Game
Now came the hardest part – waiting. I had to let the fudge cool and set for at least two hours. It felt like forever! But eventually, it was ready. I cut it into little squares, and finally, the moment of truth. I took a bite.
It was so good! Rich, chocolatey, with that perfect hint of peanut butter. Definitely worth the wait. I might try adding some nuts next time, just to experiment a bit. Overall, it was a fun baking experiment, and I ended up with a delicious treat to share with my family.
