Peanut Butter Fudge
A no-bake, creamy, homemade dessert that’s sweet enough to satisfy any chocolate lover, yet simple enough for a weeknight treat. Perfect for holiday gatherings or a quick snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups smooth peanut butter natural or commercial; stir well if oil separates
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk look for BPA-free lining brands
- 3 cups powdered sugar sifted for extra creaminess
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional, enhances flavor
- Pinch of fine sea salt balances sweetness
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate for a less sweet twist
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Heat peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk over low heat until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla and sea salt. Slowly add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until mixture is thick but pliable.
- Press two-thirds of the fudge base into the pan. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the peanut butter layer. Chill for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Slice into 24 squares and enjoy this rich and creamy Peanut Butter Fudge as a sweet treat.
Notes
Use a heavy silicone spatula for easier mixing. Sift powdered sugar to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth fudge texture. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
