Make this rich and creamy peanut butter fudge using simple ingredients. This no-fail recipe yields a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth dessert perfect for holiday gifting or a quick sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir well until smooth.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and half of the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until combined.
  4. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until the mixture is uniform and thick.
  5. In a separate small bowl, melt the butter. Pour the melted butter over the fudge mixture and stir until fully incorporated. This step helps create the creamy texture.
  6. Press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  8. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use natural, unsalted peanut butter.
  • If you prefer a firmer fudge, chill it for 3 hours before cutting.
  • You can use a microwave or a double boiler to melt the butter, but do not let it brown.
