Anybody try using chocolate frosting so you get chocolate/peanut butter fudge???

I just made the fudge as directed.. Can you store it in the refrigerator is my only question...I also put chocolate drizzle on it and sprinkles from the confetti vanilla icing...It looks so pretty and it came out great fudgey... -
I heated the peanut butter as well as the frosting. I don't recommend it. It makes the fudge crumbly. I also tried chocolate frosting. It didn't taste like chocolate/peanut butter, just peanut butter.

Made this last night and brought it to work today. It should last until 10 am maybe. Good recipe. Quick and easy. But really rich!

Super easy is putting it mildly! I made this in 2 minutes! It is very creamy, not too sweet like some. When I need a party recipe in a hurry, this is the one I'll reach for. Very good! Thanks!!

This is absolutely the easiest fudge to make in the whole universe! I made two batches. In the first batch I used crunchy peanut butter and added 2/3 cup mini morsels according to Dottie5's suggestion. A very nice chocolate peanut butter fudge evolved (the morsels melt right in). My second batch was done according to the recipe. I think I actually liked the second fudge better, but both were great. When I looked at the available flavors of canned frosting, I started thinking that I might experiment more next time...cheesecake, chocolate fudge flavors... Oh, the total cost to make (in SE Alabama) was $2.50. -
My husband kept insisting "It's not fudge." I think that has something to do with the texture - it doesn't firm up as much as more complicated fudge recipes. Still, it's yummy, and a great recipe to pull out of the hat at the last minute. I used a can of "Fun Favorites" that I had on hand (the one that has the pouch of candy coated chocolate & sprinkles). I added the colored bits just before pouring into the pan, and they mixed in without melting. This makes me think you could add red & green sprinkles if you wanted a more "Christmasy" presentation. -
Used plain vanilla frosting and chunky PB and it tastes great and was done in a snap with minimal cleanup. Mixed them together and heated in the microwave and lined pan with waxed paper. Done in a snap!

Used almond butter instead of peanut butter and it turned out great!
