Description
A rich, creamy peanut butter fudge made with just three ingredients in the microwave—quick, nostalgic, and perfect for gifting or satisfying a sweet craving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter (not natural)
- 4 cups (500 g) confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and peanut butter. Microwave in 30‑second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
- Add confectioners’ sugar and stir until fully combined—a thick mixture.
- Transfer to the prepared pan. Place another parchment sheet on top and gently press to even out. Remove the top parchment and smooth the surface.
- Refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the fudge is set.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variety.
- Let the fudge sit at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
