5 Minute Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
This fudge combines canned sweetened condensed milk with creamy peanut butter and white chocolate to create a rich and sweet base. Vanilla extract enhances the flavor. The ingredients are melted together gradually, either in a microwave in short bursts with stirring or gently on the stovetop, ensuring a smooth and glossy mixture.
Once poured into a lined pan and chilled for a couple of hours, the fudge sets into firm squares that hold their shape yet have a tender bite typical of classic fudge. The combination of peanut butter and white chocolate yields a mild sweetness with nutty undertones.
For best texture, avoid natural peanut butters as their oil separation can affect consistency. Chunky peanut butter is acceptable, or adding chopped peanuts after melting adds texture. The fudge should be refrigerated to keep firm and can be stored in an airtight container.
