Easy Peanut Butter Fudge

Our family doesn’t have a solid fudge tradition; it will show up on
cookie trays occasionally, but I don’t have memories of my mom
or grandma standing over pots of fudge and stirring, stirring,
stirring until it was just right. So I’ve forged my own fudge path,
and about 10 years ago, I – a massive peanut butter fanatic –
realized that my repertoire was missing peanut butter fudge. I
quickly set about righting that wrong.

I love peanut butter fudge because it is infinitely easier than


chocolate fudge and, well, it’s peanut butter fudge. What’s not to
love? No candy thermometers or intensive stirring required. All
you need is butter, peanut butter, a pinch of salt, vanilla,
powdered sugar and about 10 minutes. It is so easy, super
forgiving, and makes the BEST fudge!

How to Make Easy Peanut Butter Fudge

This recipe is seriously SIMPLE, and don’t we all need a little


something simple on our baking to-do list this season? In a word,
YES. Let’s get to it!

First, you’re going to combine butter and peanut butter in a


saucepan and bring to a boil. As soon as it hits that point,
remove from the heat and stir in the salt, vanilla extract, and
powdered sugar.
Spread it into an 8-inch square pan
(https://rstyle.me/n/dc3ehncaugx), cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate until it has set up, which only takes about an hour.

That’s it! Can you believe it? Seriously the easiest, most failsafe,
DELICIOUS fudge on the planet.
Recipe Notes
I think the best part about this fudge might be that it tastes just
like the inside of buckeyes
(https://www.browneyedbaker.com/2007/12/18/christmas-
baking-buckeyes/) (another holiday staple!), except the fudge
involves less steps and also less time. But no chocolate, so I
guess it evens out!

If you need a peanut butter fudge recipe that does not require
milk, that can be made in just 10 minutes and with ingredients
you likely already have at home, look no further. This fudge takes
little effort and will be a huge hit on all of those gorgeous cookie
trays you’re going to build in a few weeks!
Ingredients

1¼ cups (283.75 g) unsalted butter

1¼ cups (338 g) creamy peanut butter

Pinch salt

1½ teaspoons (1.5 teaspoons) vanilla extract

4½ cups (510 g) powdered sugar, sifted

Instructions

Butter an 8-inch non-stick baking dish (or line with buttered


parchment paper) and set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter and


peanut butter until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from
the heat.

Add the salt and vanilla extract, then stir in the powdered
sugar until smooth and no lumps remain.

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the
top. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the fudge and
refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Cut into squares and
serve. Fudge can be stored at cool room temperature in an
airtight container for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for
up to 1 month.
