Peanut Butter Hot Fudge
This Peanut Butter Hot Fudge is a rich, creamy sauce perfect for drizzling over vanilla or peppermint ice cream. Made from scratch with unsweetened cocoa, creamy peanut butter, and a touch of vanilla, it’s a decadent and homemade alternative to jarred toppings that you can also enjoy straight from the fridge.
