How do you make Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudgesicles?
You will need:
For the chocolate portion:
- 3/4 cup of evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup of whole milk
- 8 teaspoons of brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons of cocoa powder
For the peanut butter portion:
- 1/4 cup of evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup of whole milk
- 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons of brown sugar
Equipment:
This recipe makes about 9 2-ounce popsicles. The recipe amounts may have to be adjusted to fill different sized popsicle molds, but you may want to go ahead and just double this recipe…it’s THAT good!
By the way, if you don’t have any popsicle molds on hand, it’s not a big deal! Here are some creative homemade molds you can try.
Method:
- In a small pot, add all of the ingredients for the chocolate portion. Turn the heat on to medium, and whisk all of the ingredients together. Once everything is combined and the sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes), turn off the heat and set it aside to cool. (If some bits of cocoa did not dissolve, make sure to strain the mix).
- In another small pot, add all of the ingredients for the peanut butter portion. Turn on the heat to medium and whisk everything together. Once everything is combined well (about 2 minutes), turn off the heat and set it aside to cool.
- When both mixes have cooled, you can begin to fill your popsicle molds. Evenly spoon the peanut butter mixture into the molds. Don’t worry if it’s a little messy.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture and fill to the top of your popsicle molds. Then, take a small spoon or popsicle stick and gently give it a quick stir so the peanut butter mixture is swirled. Do not completely mix it in. If your mold has a place to insert popsicle sticks, do so now.
- Freeze for 8 hours or overnight.**If your popsicle mold does not have a place for popsicle sticks, remove the mold from the freezer after about 2 hours. Place the popsicle sticks in, and return to the freezer for at least another 4 hours.**
- When you are ready to eat them, run the popsicle mold under warm water, then gently pull on the popsicle sticks to release them from the mold. Enjoy!

How do I store the fudgesicles?
You can store the fudgesicles in an airtight container or freezer bag with parchment paper between any layers you may have.
If you don’t already have them, try these reusable freezer bags. They’re better for the environment and better for your wallet!
Do I have to use Dutch processed cocoa powder?
No, you don’t have to use Dutch processed cocoa powder. I use it in these fudgesicles because it gives them a richer taste than regular cocoa powder. What you use comes down to your own preference. To learn more about the differences between Dutch processed and regular cocoa powder, check out this article.
Can I use natural peanut butter instead?
Yes, you can use natural peanut butter instead. Because natural peanut butter does not contain added sugar or salt, you will have to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe, and add a pinch of salt.
