Use high-quality chocolate and peanut butter for the best flavor. Ensure accurate temperature control during boiling to achieve the perfect fudge consistency. For a marbled effect, swirl the peanut butter layer gently into the chocolate layer with a knife or skewer. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
