Incredibly delicious, old-fashioned peanut butter fudge that is super easy to make, calls for only 5 ingredients and is perfect for holidays.
Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe
Seriously, this DELICIOUS fudge recipe offers the smoothest and creamiest you can find in a fudge. It is sweet and buttery with an intense peanut butter flavor.
This oh-so-creamy and smooth fudge will literally melt into your mouth, and the best part is that it is SOO easy to make.
The actual preparation of this recipe will only take two minutes, including the mixing of the peanut butter with other ingredients. However, refrigerating it will take up to four hours for the best result.
I LOVE to serve this fudge with hot drinks such as Oat Milk Hot Chocolate, White Chocolate Latte and Chocolate Milk Tea.
What's in This Recipe?
Butter. Since I will be adding salt to this recipe, I recommend using unsalted butter. You can use plant-based butter to make this fudge vegan.
Peanut Butter. I prefer a smooth, creamy peanut butter. However, it is important to use good-quality peanut butter.
Vanilla Extract. Just for flavor. You may use almond extract instead.
Powdered Sugar. I use powdered sugar because it dissolves quickly.
Salt. Just ¼ teaspoon to balance the sweetness.
How to Make It
One: Line a 20 cm square baking pan with parchment paper.
Two: In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and peanut butter for 1-2 minutes or until both are melted, and mix together until combined.
Pro Tip: You may melt both the butter and peanut butter in a double boiler over medium-high heat or in a large saucepan over medium heat instead of the microwave.
Three: Stir in the vanilla, powdered sugar and salt until incorporated.
Tip: I recommend sifting the sugar first before mixing it into the mixture. This will ensure a smoother texture with no lumps.
Four: Now, press the mixture into the prepared pan and let it cool to room temperature, then wrap with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 4-5 hours until set and firm.
Five: Cut into squares and serve.
How To Store It
You may keep the sliced pieces of this homemade fudge in an airtight container or bowl at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing: It will last for up to 3 months in the freezer. However, you need to put wax paper between the fudges so they don't stick together.
