In the top part of the double boiler, combine the chopped white chocolate and chunky peanut butter.
3
Reduce the heat to low and continuously stir the mixture until both the chocolate and peanut butter are completely melted and combined into a smooth mixture.

Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jellyroll pan with waxed paper, ensuring that the paper extends over the edges for easy removal.
5
Pour the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture into the prepared jellyroll pan, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer.
6
Carefully pour the melted semisweet chocolate over the top of the peanut butter mixture.

Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl the semisweet chocolate through the peanut butter mixture to create a marbled effect.

Once swirled to your liking, place the pan in the refrigerator and chill until the fudge is firm, about 1-2 hours.

After the fudge has set, remove it from the pan by lifting the waxed paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 1 1/2-inch by 1-inch pieces.
