Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
This fudge begins by melting peanut butter, butter, and vanilla over low to medium heat until smooth. After removing from heat, powdered erythritol and salt are stirred in to sweeten and season the mixture. Transferring the mixture to a parchment-lined pan ensures easy removal once set.
Chopped peanuts sprinkled on top provide texture contrast and enhance the peanut flavor. A quick chill in the freezer for 30 minutes firms the fudge sufficiently to cut into approximately 36 small cubes. Optionally, flaked sea salt can be added after chilling for a final seasoning touch.
Storing the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator keeps it fresh. Alternative nut butters like almond butter may be used, and sweetness can be adjusted by substituting erythritol with other sugars.
