Oh my goodness, this Toll House Famous Fudge recipe was AWESOME! I made Christmas gifts for some family members and this fudge was the hit of the giveaways. I topped each box with some festive ribbon and a sticker saying, “Toll House Famous Fudge”. Presentation is everything you know.
That delicious chocolate dessert made from a chocolate chip cookie recipe. The name “tollhouse” supposedly came from the cookies used to make this fudge. I don’t know how that’s exactly how it happened…but what I do know is there’s a lot of great things you can do with the recipe and I have them all right here for you!

Fudge is awesome, but most recipes are all or nothing. This recipe lets the fudge maker play with the exact amount of chocolate and peanut butter. So you get the creamy smooth fudge at a fraction of the calories. Be careful not to underbake because it thickens quickly. Serve chilled.
